Selection for November 8, 2006: Testament

Testament

by Anthony Lewis




Testament (derailed)

…silence…

neither heaven, nor hell.
no horned goblin breath
ing smoke & fire. the fire,
the brimstones have rescinded.

the pale horse and rider
are not around. no audience
to witness my reluctant arrival.
the horn players are a no show.

…silence…

milk & honey, streets of
gold? where? bamboozled
again! a non existence, a
personal darkness engulfed

in the reality of this truth.
deep within the void eternity
silently awaits. ssshhhhhh…amen.

…silence…

(damn)
