The Last Nimbus (redux)
A nebula forms around my headboard
& congeals—a pulsating fathom’s roost.
A blinding white flash—
great speedwell & arrowhead fall.
Encrusted like the lotus-eaters—
incubated / intubated / spacesuited /
pillows backboned.
A pair of florins for eyewear—
now set for the passage /
I pass out the last saint’s
nimbus.
What I’m Reading:
The term that I came up with… is superpower suicide. I just can’t see an example of a major country losing so much power so quickly as the United States under Trump.
We’ve encouraged our enemies and we’ve made our allies not trust us.
