Biology

What would the earth be like
if molecules never embraced?
If decomposers took a holiday?
If gravity let go
and just watched us float away?
If the storm clouds got stronger
and never ever broke?
If the sky ripped,
if the balance tipped...

Untitled and Maybe Unfinished

You're the final blanket on my bed
that makes me go from cold to warm
the extra person joining the crowd
that tips their numbers from flock to swarm
the final raindrop in the sky
that frees them all and starts the storm

the cherry on top
the icing on the cake
the shove that lets the tall wall break
