baking our brains

by Robert Filos / June 28th, 2020

submerged begins rising
in a mirror of fire
the sea casting stones
up higher and higher

no blending the colors
all coated in crimson
as smoke boils among
this pyre we swim in

the experiment is over
the dream is now dead
the ministry of truth
now lives in our heads
