Maelstrom

One of a series of collaborative NFTs by digital artist Paul Petersen, aka SphericalArt, and Charlotte Hart, poet. MAELSTROM Butterfly wings open in jungle heat that morphs into a humid gale over warm seas. Violent torrents travel thin altitudes across a thousand miles. Torment attacks in howling rain. Dread power cracks, fury roars, the wind engine sucks whole trees out of earth roots exposed. Houses splinter. Cars lift, driven by air to crash somewhere unmapped. A shoe speeds in pelting rain, walls breathe. A mother covers her whimpering child in an empty tub. Men pray who never prayed. Deafening darkness, searching flashlights, fear. The dog whimpers. Snakes and swallows lift together tossed unnatural in nature disassembling itself. Maelstrom flood and roar chaos shoots a single straw through a glass window like a needle.
