Omega Sunset (an ode to Yeats)

Congealing reality
within the void

The flame of
coexistence
extinguished

The falcon long gone

We’re left to gaze at
an empty, brooding sky

Ah Billy, you understood
so long ago
You tried to tell us
but we were too
absorbed in our
own delusions
to understand
Your’ “rough beast”
is at the gates of
the Holy city
and there is
nowhere left
to hide
