Drowning Worms.... Walking along looking down
to keep the rain out of my eyes,
I saw the horror.
Hundreds of sightless
worms,
drowning.
No vocal chords, their screams never received.
I could hear them though.
No ears to hear my sudden intake of breath
I tried to save as many as I could, grabbing, tossing ,
looking for dry ground. The damage was already astonishing by then .
If they had only stayed underground, where the water didn't puddle.
What urged them to push to the surface,
only to die like beached whales...
I don't use the sidewalk anymore
