year zero
today the universe
is all
id
hydrogen
gravity
utopia and nihilism are beyond the horizon
the slate is wiped clean
tomorrow we will paint a portrait of Robespierre
noble
wearing sky blue silk

Literature, the kind of poetry I only aspire to write.Or perhaps, social commentary, makes one wonder if we are going forwards or backwards. At any rate I truly loved it and am glad you commented on mine so I could read this.

This is great - you excel at poems about paintings, I'd love to see some of your own art work. /utopia and nihilism are beyond the horizon/ is resonating for me, surreal.

This is beautiful.
The words you use, the imagery you create, the complex simplicity of it all. Amazing.
I love the lines :
utopia and nihilism are beyond the horizon
the slate is wiped clean
Just beautiful.
