Fevered Mind

A poem by Sydney Stone. I do not own the image.

***

Snowflakes drift,

Over glacial rifts,

In timeless ice,

Rent by prehistoric strife,

Of cascading fire,

Great bird-lizard’s ire,

Sending them home,

To an ash-sludge abode,

Sloughing flesh from bone,

Turning bone to stone,

And then into oil,

Over which men’s minds spoil.
