thanks guys for making my week.

Beneath such subtle silent defiance is a bond
Covalent or ionic
Brittle
And cast from duress
The mason’s furnace churning below
Ever-replenished by
Hell’s patient flame

Alas! The lichen is a guise
That talus scree is moving!
Fanning out
In a slovenly hunch
This devil’s orogeny shrugs

Hutton’s folded hands
Lay patiently
At his marble desk,
And Borges wasn’t
Fooled by the
“Recondite sand
that slides away
and slopes
and, at the falling point
piles up with
an urgency
wholly human”

And even when
Alberta’s Burgess Shale
Showed us
That life exploded
Gould gave us a moment
A period of repose
To pause
Before the punctuation
That seismic shift
When the Cambrian came alive

And now, humans
With our pretty revolutions
Cannot slow
Ourselves to see
Our fallability
An exclamation point
Before another

Long

Drawn-out

Slumber.

Seriously.

You guys blow me over though, blog is fucking brilliant lately, great choices and the writing cracks me up!
