Beginning is the End  
by Ela Lourenco 

I sway with the flicker of the molten heat

In tandem with the dance of the flames

Born of my wrath

The Earth tree,

The giver of life

Is shrivelling under my gaze

Returning to the ashes

From whence she came.

.

The skies darken slowly,

Birdsong quietens

Even the air is still

My throat constricts

Gasping for oxygen

As the universe sucks back

All life

And turns the Earth

Into a dead rock

Devoid of all life…
