IN APOCALYPSIN

 

what boneheads everywhere

fail to grasp

but will soon learn

may be found under Apocalypse, the

in my upcoming glossary:

apocalypse is not 

the event itself

happening in the unspecific future

not that occasion

when the comet of many fucks

will turn the sky

the color of dogshit

make everything seethe and boil and bubble

            with eruptions and awesome

            slime from the crypts 

(however much those things will

all happen to you) but no

the apocalypse is not an event at all 

but the uncovering 

a thing already happening

full-on

that is why I am conducting a sun

come with me

radiant one

we will occupy that age

that aeon

    between breaths

    and deaths

    and flares

    and stairs

and make our sauts de cabri

through caves

and graves

and river valleys

and well lit alleys

and crown the dying world with a verse:

whatever one, let's say, is not too burnt

at the end of our long day

though it will surely

be partially burnt
