Jay Allard - Beyond The Sky At Night

Here we go touring again
The post-Holocaust
Not quite post-Holocene

Both driver and guide -
The worst psychopaths -
Learned their route from worse despots

The moon no longer
So nebulous;
The sun still perilously dear

All the dusty fruits of the sky
Nearer the harvest;
Farther away.

Jay Allard
