- A Crash-Into Moment -

Spiraling downward

Into a mess of molten, crumpled wings

In the moonlight

The end of days and nights

Flood's taint everywhere

Spores floating on the wind

Forerunner legacy, death apocalyptic

Clinging to the barest hopes as the ship goes down

Falling, falling ...

A.I. break and shatter

Mad as March Hare and Hatter

Let it be the end times

And let mercy spare me well.

Terrible sounds of shearing metal

Never as delicate as flower petals

Blood runs down my hand as I am unfettered

Out the airlock, re-entry pack on

I will not fall into silence

No shatter

Last chance at freedom

BOOM!

I sail downward.

Light as a feather,

I am free,

That is,

Until the shockwave and shrapnel

Get to me ...
