Summary: A life lived in smoke and dust


Smoke
Mars the
Horizon,
And flames lick high.
She tried to reach the safety of the Zones
She almost made it; she got far enough
For them to find
And save her
Precious
Babe

o

Smoke
Dustlanes
Laser bursts
Joshua trees
Scorch marks on chests, red dirt, and trunks alike
Chests rise and sink, and finally fall still
She does not cry
She's strong, their
Motor
Babe

o

Smoke
Ozone
Burns her nose
Blaster fire screams
And so does she. Sterile walls and floors charred
Just like her fam'ly. They won't rise again
There's no escape
Sacrificed
For their
Babe
