Congealing reality within
the empty void.
The flame of coexistence
extinguished.
The falcon long gone.
We are left to gaze at
an empty, brooding sky.
Ah Billy, you understood
so long ago.
You tried to tell us but we were
too absorbed in our own delusions
to understand.
Your’ “rough beast” is at the gates
of the Holy city and there
is nowhere left to hide.
