The Last Gasps of Reason - Poetry Inspired by Environmental Issues
Published on HivePostify by @raj808 · Fri Sep 04 2026
Stacks of chimneys, graze lurid amber cockleshell clouds, shrouding the day echoing the break. Purple wire-strung lazy sun, setting in haze, emblazoned on the sky.
In the wake of tram-lines from airplane trails, a script is written - unfurling plot in images lost in the river’s rage. Trees shake as charnel smoke flays quivering leaves, groping for meaning in a world bereaved, with the last gasps of reason.
