O ESCHATON
"O Eschaton," Montana BLACK spray paint, papercut paint chip sample, papercut adhesive labels, art marker, and India ink on 4" x 6" watercolor postcard.
One of the cards I sent out as part of my "O Eschaton" series of poems for the 2021 Poetry Postcard Fest.

O ESCHATON
At the end of the age,
all creation will cry out, O Eschaton
and after the last echoes die out
the carrion birds and rats will move in
and when in their turn they perish
they will be replaced by the cockroaches
who will finally have their day to rule
upon the “King of the Mountain” rubbish pile
Gregor Samsa and Archy will sit sipping tea
in the concrete and steel shells
where you and I once sat
where you and I once danced and sang.
