Picture-Prompt Writing Challenge!
Land Mind
by Angela Yuriko Smith
I’m trying to remember
sympathy, she said
to no one but the
circling vultures.
Broken
deflated land
shattered beneath
bone shimmering shell
of sky and melting cirrus
parched from lack of tear
for love had long expired
ending the world bringing
one woman apocalypse…
a collapsing universe…
an imploding star…
a dying soul.
The vultures circle
no one but a girl who
can’t find her sympathy
lost in a broken land mind.
