What I once held as celebrated truth
I now recognize as the vice of youth. In an infinite moment separated by synapse I choke on the answer to a question I never asked. These circuits were never meant to carry such a current, And when the breakers blow I am left with a single image: A collapsing smile in the absence of light. Where were you when Jericho fell, When Sodom burned and Egypt wept? I was here all along, A whisper crushed between folded hands. Behold, mighty king, Your alabaster pillars crumbling. Harken, O lord, To the thunder of the dead. Despair, your majesty, As the black ocean swells, Swallowing your palace and your heaven and your hell. |
