One drop. One bite.
You see?
…and that was it.
I was mixed into you,
and you were mixed into me.
Irreversible entropy.
One quick stir,
and everything we used to be,
forever entangled.
The peasants flee,
when the moon rises,
and they hear our howls.
Charl Landsberg is a South African poet who’s work often focuses on social justice issues but occasionally strays into fantasy and science fiction.
