Liberation: the Effects of Parallax

Tuesday, November 14, 2017 by Christopher Matthias

All the horrors that one pulling breath may know in this life.
Such cataclysm. Such destruction. Such callous disregard.
A fair future is fairly uncertain.

As blind arcade of pillars
                                  of stratified civilization
                 collapse of their own weight
a brilliant-burning,
best-of-life glory unfolds in the days we see.

The arc of woman
is waxing
towards a fullness
like this planet has never seen.

Pull a breath.
Watch the horrors roll out with low tide.
Touch the scars in the wet sand.
