a place called paradise

 

once they were modern, now they are dated.

and yet this creation of infinity,

a rimmed moonlit crescent bends,

the furious inflections in age-old sentences,

the staff of fright whose sessions slit

image beckons good or bad,

these long and ancient feuds

so long ago that hatred becomes second nature

feeling only indifference like the malice of hangman’s hands.

they are not Angels on high

only the drones spy

while all humans cry

 

in dark confessions

and gaze upward to a place called paradise.
