Bastardised Evolution.

Set the fractured boundaries of deception, and lay
freedom in the void. Frogs roar
in cryptic tongues, warped to lanterns, burning in the twilight.
Damp matches prove brittle splinters
clawing her fingers, into a whirlpool of pinpricks.
A scattering of whens and nothing gestate in her sour womb.
The dying foetus fumbles upon dead strings
screeching nonchalant chords.
Bastardised piano keys deemed offensive
politics calculated as frivolity,
religion equal. Both caught in the cynics web
as two versions of the same root
awaiting to be devoured by the marching sands of evolution.
Oceans are puddles, mountains are fragile; once scrutinised, what is left but disappointment.
