circa Summer 2020
pixelated and clear / 5.5 inch screens spawn portals that yawn / faces oust doors
counterfeits of Edvard’s The Scream / the world mesmerized / misty –
eyes / our ery haze met / a pre-rapture rhapsody / burnt sienna freed
rotten wounds devouring itself in state-of-the-art ways
to see a city blister / Minneapolis had Vesuvius as it’s muse
