And the world goes boom…
And the world goes boom…
Poison lurks on porcelain
moistening doorknobs
infiltrating the casual kisses
passing in the human
clasp of hands
Streets of gold crack open
lead seeps up, through
alchemy reversed, exposed
as wizards snap their wands
across silk clad knees
and curse the fates
Gold crumbles to simple stone
diamonds to coal, money to pulp
the wisdom of the Bull revealed
as just a gambler’s hunch
this time mistaken
Leaders follow as fear instructs
nations waver as fevered breaths
cross the oceans, cross the lands
the stench of our mortality
permeating, obscuring
the incoming Spring
Love can stand the lack of touch
the distance of prudence,
the needle and the mask
heart can wait for better times
and not break, not forget
the why it waits
The world goes boom
but we are we
forever
