RANDOM I  

By David Eide  

The last thought is a city ending itself in a frenzy; a smoke, a seed, an incessant element tangling through shop-worn streets. Deluge; make well the last city of smoke Give it more promise than Mars or Neptune An egg deposited at the center of nowhere. After the deluge, suns struggle, moons reveal conflicts. Opposed forces determine the future The last thought is a light howling through clouds of anger Rocks speak like old ghosts in the city of careful pathways.
