Day and Night- a poem

 


  Several years ago

sounds were
spaces of shadow
memories lost
like dirt presented as dust

  Several months ago
things like planets were discussed
perchlorates were inchoate elements
Intolerable for thymus glands
In dirt presented as dust

  Several days ago
Venus was 900 degrees
and warmer below the surface
heat trapped for billions of years
won’t release the edge easily

  A few minutes ago
life might have ended
with myriad weapons of mass destruction
competing for attention
for massive public debt.
