As the Times Transit

 

cargocult

 

In these transition times

wth fog hovering

and cold wintry air

ripping through your flesh

stand straight like a weather wane

to test the texture of  times

then slouch like a rumpled scarecrow

seeking vision through the dim light

 

What’s flocking together

are not birds of a feather

but albatross and sparrow

peacock, and egret flying low in the shadow

craning their necks

against unscripted winds

coursing in the hollow of their bones

 

A shift in pressure

exhaling from the mouth

of redundant times

unleashed from the fractals

of the Ages

leaking from cargo cults

onto a planet on edge.
