Acting out a Dissociative Fugue:
– sudden, unexpected travel away from home or one’s customary place of work, with inability to recall one’s past
– confusion about personal identity, or the assumption of a new identity, or
– significant distress or impairment.

memories of love
which in their cruel nature
rest on mere contingency
burning like cold sores
on the skin of my soul
memories of love
a roaring surge
of brainwaves
pounding against
the screaming rocks
of disowned passion
memories of love
hide
in a maze of flesh
craven parasites
concealed
in mucous membranes
their damp
dripping
shadows
exhaling
cold rust
And the mad poet cried:
Come fruitful Madness – – – !
To spill stoning silence
among the searing stars!
I’ll take my time
to slowly drown
in Thy whispering
April eyes – – – !
*
and in the rotting shadow
and rising ever gently
my incidental pain:
a delicate bait
for your
dying
kiss

Wild, dark times are rumbling toward us, and the prophet who wishes to write a new apocalypse will have to invent entirely new beasts, and beasts so terrible that the ancient animal symbols of Saint John will seem like cooing doves and cupids in comparison.
— Heinrich Heine
It’s more a symptom of increasing class and income differentiation. The ultra-rich may be feeding roses and champagne to their racehorses, but that doesn’t mean we’re on the brink of an apocalypse.
— Bruce Sterling

cortical hellfire
beaming confusion
twisted contorted
scrambled distorted
frequency barbwire
magmatic intrusion
of hot white noise
behind my eyes
raw heavy metal rust
remote supraluminal drunk memories
harsh
glaring
like a flashback to the future

“New Ice Age!”
“Global Warming!”
“The end is at hand!”
“And we had it coming!”
“The twilight has come!”
“Civilization has failed!”
“This world will perish!”
“It’s the end of mankind!”
“It’s the Second Coming!”
“Judgement is imminent!”
“The cycle is nearing its end!”
“The end of the world as we know it!”
“We will suffer!”

We are doomed!
– – – for how long?

We are doomed!
– – – at how many times and places?

We are doomed!
– – – in whose eyes?
###
###
The end of the world as we know it!
– – – for how long still, my likeness in a blind mirror?
