Tomorrow

Yesterday: the grass is red the oil rig burrows further mother cries, for father falls the sky is purple water trembles olivia is still

Today: waves wash ashore the oil rig burrows further the sky is blue the grass is green mother cries, for father’s fallen olivia is still

Tomorrow: mother hugs the oil rig burrows further waves turn to tides the sky is red the grass yellowed olivia says, “tomorrow.”
