the pterosaurs saw what happened that day

a second Sun dropped from the sky

the pressure wave blasted those closest to haze

and wafted their ashes on high

then hundreds more pterosaurs lifeless and torn

took flight in a terrible dance

broken umbrellas tossed far by the storm

untethered kites left to mischance

thousands of pterosaurs fell like dead leaves

caught up in sudden tumultuous seas

waves smashed the pterosaurs huddled on land

waves buried eggs under layers of sand

the dark with mercy tried to hide these ravages in night

receding waters banked the once majestic bodies high

and now at last as all the worlds great forests come alight

they are transformed

as cinders reborn

they take their final flight
