just add water

with the trembling
of fingertips
reaching toward and toward
the moral vacuum
and of course
the thunderbolt
should be
no no a thousand times no
but its usually
who the scapegoat
and this too shall pass
then a thousand years
back in time
to do old old things
the bones just denied
in a new new way
the great leap forward
and meanwhile meanwhile
my dear
the nest is empty
the nest is empty
