The last embrace - stunted...$1,200
The last embrace -
stunted,
as limbs are torn away,
the idea of love itself
cast into a vacuum.
The renewed gods
drink away self-identity
as if, they were sucking
the last bit of sweetness
from a creamy shake,
unleashing that empty echo
that might produce a tear
if people could still care.
Across the gulf of blackness
the last refugees find sanctuary within
Feynman’s Free Thinkers Cafe and Motel.
Here, the last intelligentsia
bemoans a society
that laughed at educated minds,
that persecuted those outside the mainline.
Embracing instead
the emptiness of divine promises.
