All Hail the Alchemist

bluer snow

piled in the alley

derelict remains

earthly weight

displaced, sauntering

in the night parade

the future looms

the future that looms

can't halt the world

the year, the day, all time undone

barreling promise, succeeds and comes

one whirring sound, last breath of scents

fall soft/off in deep sedation

all hail the alchemist

make us numb

when we want

take us up on the hopes

we'll expire in your rooms

the earth will trudge

along without you

indifferent to the slain

heavenly waste

anchors the hauling being

with their day tirades
