Beautiful Sensations
March 22, 2023
(Inspired by William Gaddis’ J R)
“A screaming comes across the sky,”
In bright, oversaturated colors.
The hypothermic blue of a frigid March
Shining violently through
silhouettes of trees already barren--
Charred black remains of verdant forests
Against the sky.
The earth trembled beneath the crowd,
Deep pits of hatred
Rumbling,
Shallow valleys, slow rivers, of sorrow…
They all seemed to enjoy it.
They photographed the sky and
Marveled at its grand beauty, laughed
At the sensations beneath their feet…
It was all great stimulation for their
Dead bodies.
