Strange Promise

by Dan Corjescu / April 28th, 2024

The World
Has acquired
A special Silence
Without the Gods

When there is
Nothing to listen for

When there is no outside

There is no inner

The soul is undisguised
To be a foul sprinter
To nowhere in particular

Death is now Final
Matter everything

Hope is killed
Behind the Fleeing God

Only a Fool believes
In Divinity

But some continue
To hear
A strange distant song

The chime of a Sphere

A Promise that is Gone
