Last Dawn
We miss the sun
It won't be back
The beach is empty
White with frost, seaweed black.
The clock of time
We missed our chance
to save our planet
no next time.
The sun never came up
so it couldn't go down.
We walked to town
everyone's gone.
Two foxes appeared
at our back door again
hungry, exhausted,
We took them in.
We shared the last
of the bread we baked
and the water we hauled
from a frozen lake.
The wind picked up
The power went out
Four of us huddled
under a blanket...peace-out.
