NAPOWRIMO #28: thEEDDDD

For 2011's National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo), Troy's Work Table is attempting to write thirty poems in thirty days without the help of writing prompts from other websites.

Many of these are still in some sort of draft stage, but that is the nature of the Work Table.

thEEDDDD

she said,
although we think
she meant “the end”

either way,
it referenced
an exploding star

Wire’s “Comet”
or Killing Joke’s
“Asteroid!”

or the bright
white stellar light
of Jesus the Christ

as he went nuclear
on the mountaintop
of a planet thousands

upon thousands
of light years
away, where

if we had
been able to hear
this angel song

it would have
been a single
sustained rumbling note:

thEEDDDD
