mi rage

We didn’t think it was possible for a very, very, very, long time. even as it all slipped away. slowly, slow, slower. imperceptibility as ignorance. disappearance in plain sight. swathes of ‘over there,’ gone but not landed in these bodies. not my back yard, so not mine. until we realised that all of it was always all of our back yards, always our addiction to destruction. clouding…

gone but not gone

Once upon a time and this is a true story i looked heavenward bewildered and blinded by the new found knowledge that what I could see was gone This Boy Scout was not prepared Not for this Our troupe Chaplain had explained astronomy for beginners Time and distance on an epic scale meant we could see what was not there anymore Generations from now Starfish not stars may not be…
