The Exodus of the Masses
The timepieces died last
Ahead the walls of crumbling hope
Translators were looking for
Bullet holes in nurseries
People filled suitcases
Dialing emergency numbers, bolting
Locks and doors
Belongings remained
*
Masses walking through cities in
Processions of velvet
Sobbing in chorus
Eyes blinking wearily
Nights they got to the
Steelblue and silent ocean
Lightly it lay before the
Respiring masses
*
They were holding their breath
As a luster was emerging
Nobody had ever seen
This luster
The masses stretched widely
Their fingers bent and
Cold for the luster
Like moths into the light
*
The masses were catching fire
Faces ablazed
Bodies turning from yellow
Skins into heaps of ash
Thus the exodus came to an end.
Heat was flickering in the sea
Deathgrey vultures circling
Through the air of black acid.
The Exodus of the Masses
