Ugly in the Center

Brian Looney

Dirt blackens, warping minds.
All the blasted sands, the clotted thoughts, the impact detonations.
Some know that vacant scarceness.
The kind that gobbled up the cities.

Dirt blackens, tiny castles, rolling hills.
It sinks into my shoes and drags against my ankles.
It clogs my nose, layers my insides, colors in my lines.

Dirt blackens, bellies growl.
Tangled growth, darkened berries, swelled and drooping.
They drop into a hand; they gush within a mouth, spurting ash.

Dirt blackens, terrain changes.
The sun is blocked, no time for reason.
I see its cooler spectrum sneak.

Dirt blackens, pulverized, and it’s all so empty devoid of youth.
Skirting streets, asphalt broken, old material disconnect.

Dirt blackens, step by step, deeper in the crater.
Deadened shells, frames collapsed, ugly in the center.
