#1894 - live in a mad time

 



1894

6.67

8.iii.25

live in a mad time

every line’s a stanza

 

in a mad world

 

in the century melt

 

nor mattering

 

when comes the rain

 

then the hundred year drought

 

the insects are inventing again

 

a scratch and wonder where

 

the ceiling soiled, dream on

 

how many plagues can you count?

 

will they come to me these few first?

 

I smuggle a few words out of the head

 

something the size of the night gets in

 

it’s landfall of storm

 

climbing the walls

 

everything the bird does for a reason

 

we’re the ones to be swept away

 

lost to the past

 

madness the only virtue

 

in the event of self, break glass

 

still sometimes won’t see me

 

not in the mirror yet
