genesis or a revelation
and what lies restlessly in the haunted interstices of your mind
when you hear of these atrocities, these transgressions and offenses
when you see the flames rising in response
the inferno towering up and all around you
when you feel your feet touch the bottom of the whale’s belly
do you cower on its tongue or claw out from its spout
and when you hear the sirens
the cries and protestations of the oppressed and exhausted
their revolt to the revolting…
do you see revolution in these aberrations?
do you welcome genesis
or fear revelations..?
