Ladybugs Are Made For Wishes
by
Theresa Cecilia Garcia
In the intervening hour
beyond conscious thought,
Man fights for every breath .
Praying for the fifth time in one night,
"Just let me get out of this one."
Ladybugs are made for wishes
we all have wishes
but before too long
more stunts to mangle are taught.
Dislocate!
Fiery tempers.
Wrathful breathing .
A fight to establish dominance.
A battered planet.
New and jarred teeth,
Ricocheting,
hauled into brick walls.
Disbelieving hearts .
"Disarm and we'll talk."
As humanity sits and cowers,
inviting it's own destruction
evaporating the freshness
under an intense dream.
