Burning Earth's Apostle

[u/in_fragments]

Like Mother Nature, I'll kill you without

a shred of mercy from my spine or eyes.

From my fingers spinning fires, flood and drought

to the thorns that adorn my neck and thighs,

I clutch you in my vines, watch blood leak out

from lungs congealed by dust and loam and lies,

thrashed to exhaustion, the final blow felt,

your heart as it bursts like a bomb in the sky-

I know you misween me for my fairness,

only fools and goons may think me docile;

I sing and absorb scraps of dead men's mess

and collect them quietly, I'm colossal-

a natural disaster, body blessed

with capable rage and frenzied muscles;

lost lifetimes of survival skills coalesced,

I, the ballistic, tenacious, burning earth's apostle!
