and i watched as the horizon
filled with smoke

insignificant

the sky rains razors
the immensity
of tangential comeuppance
they put flouride
in the water to pacify
the barracudas in the tanks

and i watched as the horizon
filled with smoke

transitive

secular polarity
as the ever shifting
rancorous majesty abounds
in magnetic bipolarity
bandied back and forth
bleeding silver ice

and i watched as the horizon filled with smoke

still succor never came
