An age

I have seen
the dust of the earth
blaze
but fade as cloud-mirrors
raised like coastal statues of
undeniable prestige
signs of our demise
the dim-drowned shine
on a skull
hollow and
blackened with age
the swelling butterfly bruises
fading to grey
searching
white static air
there are no more words.
