Populicide

I fancy a furrow
From the treads of cosmic insects:
Eight-armed and arbitrary
With ambulant egg-sacks on their underbellies
As they leer with angular eyes over Neptune-
Exoskeletons gleaming in the reflected light
Of Jupiter's 63 moons. 

The parallax of populicide shan't stunt their wings

From beating against the noxious vapors of torn ozones. 

The furrow would be much too deep for patriarchal breath
As marsh-clouds inhale magma vapor 
From the malignant worm holes 
Of this shadow-cast city.

And where are you?
I'm picking water lilies from the ether
Like gaseous fireflies

To bottle up in little hopes
Of fire.

My blistering baby steps knock the renowned yellow brick roads

From a sky scraper's edge to topple down on the boulevards
Of doom-struck day.

My fingers graze the atmosphere
And the dimensions of oblivion ripple
Like the scar tissues of heaven

Or the ancient folds of God's gray brow. 

I fancy a furrow,

Plowed deep by fallen stars

Into the apocryphal hearts of monotheistic entities

And planetary altars

For all of man to suffocate within,

Smothered by fallout

In the roach-run womb

of mother earth.

Hm, a planet run by insects. At least, that's what I got from it. Perhaps the insects are even like stars, in vast quantity and plotted all over the universe, judging by the lines with Neptune and Jupiter. Maybe they are stars, and the insect motif is merely a description of them. Or, perhaps I'm thinking too literally xD Cosmic insects are obviously a strange topic for a poem, but I like this. In just a few stanzas you manage to open the reader to an ethereal world where such creatures exist, and include their ideals and feelings to an extent. Perhaps the planet that the speaker insect is on is a post-apocalyptic earth, due the the sky-scraper falling. Again, this may be too literal on my part. This is possibly even an idea for a story.

cosmic language opened on the side of perceptions through the quagmire of ambling through the void everydays~ stunning descriptives and your imagery in strobes is brilliant~
