no less complex
than the stratigraphy of Pompeii
yet as readable
as teen romance
deeply embedded in our cryptobiology
lunar dust
and all the detritus
beneath us
six billion bodies
writhing
in Bosch's garden
in various states of disconnect
each a tectonic converging
on the verge
of volcanism or subduction
seduced
by no less
than life's alchemical devotion
to ending
ashes to ashes, dust to dust, eh? ps. way to make me have to pull out the dictionary with this one :)
ReplyDeleteGlad I wasn't the only one who had to do that.
