" Fresh-Faced"...

" Fresh-Faced "

Fresh-faced
versus
black-draped
desolation
re-awakening
returning phrases
via heart-breaking
isolation

disseminating
spidery strangeness
into shady places
for gall makers
while at the apex
of over-grazed
leaf venation

disintegrating
into pebbly grays
being left in the wake
of food chains
assaulted by aphids
over acreages

carted away
likened to prairie remains
rich soils staying in place
throughout all-nighters
of nightmare maybes

resources rearranged
in cyberspace
heavy airs unveiled
as celebrated tales
rebroadcast
during happy hours
of streaming virtual reality
hands-on
lushly large-scale...
