Gaia & Poseidon

Her face burns 

red hot with fever,

scorched lines

across its surface

outline a grimace  

for each spike 

in temperature...

She is

suffering.

(But not alone)...

The same affliction

ravages her

“other half”...

His fluids warm

uncomfortably

bodies raging, swelling 

spilling over barricades

anointing each “act

of nature.”

They cling

to each other 

As symptoms worsen

longing for reprieve,

Wondering

if this is their last

(Sol) Journey

Together.
