The Violation Of Gaia
C By Brad Corallo
Word count 133 

The wind blows eddies of dust
over the stark desolate land.
Appearing as a tarnished, filthy steel bowl
the sky, unyielding
like grey smoke
squats heavily above the ground.
Accept for the wind 
there is silence. 

Shattered formations of rock,
vast piles of debris;
once something,
now unidentifiable functionless and broken.
No blade of grass, tree or bush remains.
 The once extensive oceans
gone or congealed
to areas of barely fluid sludge. 
 
Once a world teaming with life.
now only the heartiest extremophile micro organisms are left.
If intelligent life ever evolved here,
no traces exist. 
No recorded history illuminates the story of this world.
Over it all, ceaseless, icy winds howl and cry
their mournful lament for beautiful Gaia, that was.
Now, gone forever!
