5126. OH WELL, NOW THE HARD PART

OH WELL, NOW 
THE HARD PART
The most lethal of all the injections is into a love-filled heart :
Dies Irae Shambala. The vacating turn of matter and mind 
leave a silence and a dark in the wake : of expected things 
to turn to good, of the rise of flowers from the once-mined 
field. Everywhere the up-turned land, as if plowed, 
is instead from being blown apart.
-
Minutes and minuets. Reportage from refugees. Alien 
tales of aliens. The smothered dress of the mothered lass; 
the ladies with the pink shoelaces, like Barbie Dolls with brand 
new faces. Like Barbie Dolls with brand new faces and 
upturned graces; the man at the top of the hill, just looking 
down and standing still. Dies Irae Shambala.
