Vegan extremism now...my goodness, what next?

Vegan extremism now...my goodness, what next?

Sunlight breaking

Through eiderdown

Soft bellied cloud

Red tinged at sunset

Fiery ingots

In a molten sky

Poetic allusions

In response

To a pall of pollution

A bellicose soupcon

Of precipitation

Heavy rain falling

Carries an allergen

Life defining irony

Dispersing a

Health warning

In its welcome pack

If it was red

Rain would

Carry the stain

Of bad blood

As well as good

Nothing is simple

Or so it seems

As sunlight streams

Upon the window

The fingerprints

I see

Are from when you

Would stand inside

Looking out

To catch my eye

And wave

A fond goodbye

To me.
