UNDER LIBRA

UNDER LIBRA

balance
temperance
transcendence

I check my calendar
assiduously
wondering when they
might
    reappear

            (if
they ever
did appear)

so much bad substance
dark matter festering
         this many a day

coming to the surface
     bursting every
tectonic
plate

hot slick sludge volcano
whose pyroclastic flow
             covering in
magma
    whole wealth of detail

that it
    is turning out to be
this change
of epoch morning

whilst I spin my roladex top database
like an insane creature trapped
in the winking
    headlights of extinction

searching for a theoretician
(any still standing
         though
tossed
aside)

can explain
   this shit to me

balance transcendence  temperance

I hold off
on judgement

(sum
    of all my fears)
