exploring patterns of randomness

22822

The city seethes with security
but for whom?
Only power is privy to protection,
yet —
Sirens wail into white noise
as every detail dots
the paved perimeter.

A world away,
a war wavers on whispers,
hinging on the pride of a pathology
propagated by a zombie theology.

A river in the sky flows west,
wheeled thunder moves east —
the liturgy of the union looms.
