Recording the afterlife of dreams that I think are echoing Charon, the heat wave that has struck southern Europe and other places of the world since mid July. Experts are already proffering their suggestions on how to live with climate change despair, how to tame it, mark my words, I give it six months and it will be included in the DSM-5 and the ICD-10
Dream Sequence I:
The Eye of Vengeance
Is a brooding vortex
That nothing forgets
And everything amasses
When critical mass
Is reached
There is no
Batting of the lid
No astigmatism
That can alter
Its knifely focus
Surgically
It separates the flaps
Exposes and sinks
With no mercy
Nor grief
May you never
Fall within
Its cross-hairs
It spares nothing
Nor can it be contained.
