《Shards of Sugar (2022 - x) - [Poetry By Eclipse 3]》63.) house of cards
Advertisement
I'm falling like a house of cards,
house of cards,
house of cards.
The truth is tearing my heart apart,
heart apart,
heart apart.
You know I'd never say a thing.
Not one word, no, nothing.
I will not hum nor sing,
but I still feel something sting.
I'm falling like rain,
I'm falling like snow.
I'm falling like hailstone
you would never know.
I'm falling like a house of cards,
house of cards,
house of cards.
The truth is tearing my heart apart,
heart apart,
heart apart.
When did this even start,
even start,
even start?
Never mind I'll turn this seed into art,
into art,
into art.
All a snowflake can do is fall
from the skies above, above all.
And I know that God knows all.
Of all orbs that live on this ball.
I'm falling, still, in silence.
Silent snowfall upon a hill, so mute it's violent.
I'm falling like a house of cards,
house of cards,
house of cards.
The truth is tearing my heart apart,
heart apart,
heart apart.
My eyes see courage on my mood ring.
Who knows what these signs will bring.
Now I am tempted to say something.
Maybe I shall not say, but sing.
And if my voice is rejected or denied,
at least I can go on to say that I had tried.
And I can go on to fall by their breath.
Like a house of cards falling to its death.

Sara's (not really) Fabulous System Armageddon, Book I: The World Ended at Rush Hour
Planet Earth, Monday, October 7th, 2019. 18:30 * * On a fateful day, during rush hour in eastern North America, Heavens and Hell crumbled and fell from their higher dimension on Earth. It came from "above" but not the same above we regard in our tridimensional Euclidean reasoning. No, it came from "above" as in from a higher dimension. Bits and pieces of those places fell on Earth from all directions, this time in tridimensional Euclidean space. Satellites, the ISS, and space debris all were wiped clean from orbit. Even those that didn't crash with the falling debris were knocked off orbit by the shockwaves. On the ground, power distribution lines were disrupted and most power facilities were left abandoned by their dead staff. Most of these had emergency shutdown routines that engaged in a few days. Some others had a survivor among their staff that followed protocol and activated their SCRAM switches, stopping the power plant. Long-distance communication disappeared the internet along with it. The world was plunged into technological darkness. Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand human beings perished immediately in the pulse of magical energy from the torn spatial boundary. Spirits were rent asunder and vanished, their fate neither salvation nor damnation, only oblivion. The criteria used for this culling was latent magic potential. It didn't discriminate against education, gender, age, or ethnic group. But of the around seven million survivors, most would meet their doom moments later. Those on moving vehicles, like the ones driving on highways suddenly had to contend with high-speed uncontrolled cars and trucks driven by corpses. Trapped in their vehicles and helpless, they became part of the long snake of crushed metal. Very few survived. Those in the air or out in the sea were alone and probably unable to control their rides. Airplanes crashed, and ships kept their course or drifted away, depending on their autopilot. Several ended their own lives in utter despair after seeing their loved ones die in front of them. Another large group would die at the hands of other survivors. Violence and aggression became the norm. Only a few sparse pockets of not-so-sane survivors managed to band together and cooperate for the sake of mutual survival. The sole survivor in a five-over-one apartment building in Georgia, a girl became the keystone to humanity's survival. Sara's fabulous System Apocalypse had just started. She has only one remark. It was anything but fabulous. * * Updates every Wednesday and Sunday.
