A Time When All Things Ended In Prayer


A cone of silence
Cubically unaware

A destiny compacted
Into a square of soil
Unfit for growth

Geometrically opposed
Soft-shelled replicas
Of some prior time—
Reflecting
Cursorily in the seekers eye

A fate unboxed—tethering
Ideas together in various shades—
Sentimentality regurgitated through
A quaint appreciation of all things
Dissociated from a world consumed by effigies.

Polarized, we rotate eastward.
Entranced, we sidle to the south.
Encapsulated, we wander westward,
Hypnotized, we kneel before the northern sky.
