The Sun is speaking
now in hungry, eldritch tongues…
the stars are just right
dust & smoke clearing
monolith in the distance,
pardon this stumbling
crawling dawn, it breaks
my heart & tools daily, yet
I slumber soundly
a fool past his peak
now scraping to the finish,
was it worth the climb?
this: for the taking,
a callow soul escaping-
this was expected
memetic horror
with all haze & fog lifted=
I did as I pleased!
the crimes and the highs
but a Faustian bargain
though I’ll not complain
the sky is breaking
old ground with a hungry tongue,
the time could be nigh…
shortened days for me
as I earn what is coming…
it was all worth it
Powerfully penned, Benjamin. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

hello dearest Benjamin I love your style I have chills❤️
This is a beautiful compilation of imagery in this form
To write a whole poem as haikus/senryus is outstanding! that’s a talent, I remember reading some poets composing few verses as haikus/senryus but not long as yours here, and most of your verses can stand alone as it is. I could feel here how nature is angry and speaking to now world where humans played with its rawness, the old genuine days against the new fake days, at the end the writer seemed to be fed up and welcoming the end if this end means the end of all madness, maybe then a new earth will be born.
