Creases

If the universe were to send messages that pulsated off her appendages,

would you have the patience to listen?

If her words were to drown you beneath her wretched fury,

would you lend her your ear?

Do you expect her to watch while you massacre her progeny?

Would your addiction to power and metal blind you from your architect?

The bends, lines and creases sever her, and you watch in pride.

What if it were to crack in the middle,

everything

would you still not listen. 

If she were to take it back. All of it. 

Leaving nothing but heat and dust.

Do you even dare exist.
