It will be not pyrotechnic but arithmetic:
the final tally,
what you’ve done, what you’ve failed to do.
Peering over dispassionate columns of unregistered evils,
it’s God, Peter Singer, and a bottle of whiskey
making good use of heavy brass scales.
On one side, love – the other
a vast and colorless wasteland
of infinite regret.
This one’s my favorite so far! The imagery speaks to me and is scary to boot
It’s one of the poems you want to mark and read again!
haunting!
