Description
Are there ashes
Mourning masses
Candlelit coming together
Paradigm shifts
Healing of rifts
Cultured coalescence
An end to obsolescence
One unified incandescent
Front

Do we want
Less and offer more
Is it crashing or gently scored
To split, to groove
Watch how shadows move
Chasing copies
Like Silents before Talkies
We've all got these
Shades

Ambivalent restless retrograde
Formless facile overplayed
Catnap, ratrap racing in flames
Subordinating shame
Blast radius armchair blame
Tepid terror totaled, tame
Dice like defeated dreams fall
Well off enough building walls
Safe

Grace made fake
Mistakes and tickertape
Witnesses solemnly state
Our objectivity abates
Grass does dutifully grow
Row by rueful row
Text in the horror show
What victim, which crime
Doing draining time
Online

This is still my mind
Parts and pieces retire, resigned
Seeing so much potential collapse
Exclusive connection, reflexive gaps
Many voices truer than I'll ever be
Returned mists upon this sea
Forgotten instantly
A mere doorway, these
Ramshackle printed identities
Remain
