Doom’s Day as Seen from the Death Valley Desert

An unseen naked Few
are left to track the end of daylight…
as Venus flies across the face
of a dark and bloody sunset...

a Few to share scarce pieces of found light…
to witness falling darkness
and the sudden cold without stars…

a Few to share the arrival of lasting darkness,
the final episode of nightfalling
becalmed over an enclave of freedom…

a Few to share the journey
into the totality of darkness…

a Few to share the loss of foreboding visions…
and carry the memories of life
to the other side of nightmare…

a Few to keep a whelming faith onward
to a sentient dawn…
to ride a nascent flame
beyond the cold without stars
