Based Prophet

Did you hear that moth outside?
Groaning not-so-pleasant prophecies
Beneath your sofa, between old walls
Whose deafened ears did Joel confide?
That bridge out there
Can’t you see?
One collapsed
Another world’s icon
Denizens far-reaching
The strange set free

Dead air closing
Gaps be filled
Go ahead, keep killing
While you do, that space keeps filling
What waits outside
A friendly neighbor?
Maybe not-so
The unsung stranger?
Beware your eyes
Whispers not their danger

Cicadas chirping
Slow the phone rings
Unholy manger
What omen it brings?

“What hath night to do with sleep?”
