Every night headlights
in my windshield glare
and grow brighter
on the highway
Downed lines strike ground
lightning touches containment
fuel spreads the breach
of stark growing cancer
Quarter review key
lagging indicators perform
projection sketch in chalk
charred for next regime
Flora dystopian north
July punishes boundaries
recorded history rewrites
in habitat dysplasia
Contagion arrangement
swollen sac feigned logic
missives self-justified
illness malicious
Transmission measures
past the sound barrier
weightless assassin space
decayed observance
Forty thousand push
bull-burn façade
mounts millennial floods
behind history’s limit.
