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.
