The Eclipse of Love

Peter Magliocco

Take back the light
From the face of time
& what do you get?
The same whiners
Wondering where all
The action goes to make
The earth revolve around the sun

Until everything is illuminated
By a natural truth, sans
All the internet experts.
Like photosynthesis every day

For all living things –

But somehow humanity avoids it,
Preferring an unnatural blindness.
That comfort of lies & illusions
So cleverly bundled into
A daily regimen of speakeasy spiel.

The whore who is my wife on Thursdays
Drinks to all this, knowing the twilight of truth
Is the best refuge to hide naked in

As her bruises slowly fade
& implanted breasts implode
Into that suborbital dysfunction of being,

Darkening
my unseen
hell.
