Respite – “Otherwise” Poems

Poem 1 in my series of poems titled “Otherwise.” Inspiration from the Undertale Soundtrack, created by Toby Fox. Respite.

Take a moment

Snatch it

A second

A brief

Silent interval of time

 

Look

Glance—

No,

Gaze at your

Surroundings

Paused, as you

Have taken the remote

of life

and now

 

You see

The volcanoes

Erupting, magma into lava

ash and smoke cloud

Judgement

and you realize

how hard it is

to control

Respite
