New Scenery

The stage is being set for change.
New scenery is lowered
from the rafters.
Burning continents and ideas
that do the same thing to the system.
Masks tied around brave faces
so they don’t breath in
anything less than free air.
Although I’m sure someone
would charge for it if they could.
Digital silent treatments
bypassed by like minded followings
dedicated to anything they say
we shouldn’t care about.
Pyroclastic flows of human souls
push back against the smoke
pouring out of the skeleton
of the industrial age.
This is the turning of a page,
and there is rage below
the surface that is tempered
with her hands within the water.
