buildings of the skyline
nonchalant and upright
heave breath through season
own skyline in years
wave flags and storey
benign and unquestioned
to the wind and the space
which is safe from view
the impossible interface be
tween Have and Open
for space fits around
and wind is just movement
from nowhere to nowhere
when seen in effect
when seen in relief their
built-in apocalypse
of gathering obsolescence
is clear as vista
this poem was found within the above image which was the most recent in a series of ‘Wordless Wednesday’s by Vanessa Foster in her blog, Unguarded Moments: have a look – https://vgfoster.com/2014/09/17/wordless-wednesday/ – and ‘related’ back to her previous ones, too: they are beautiful

breath wormhole: breathing through hypnagogia
buildings & city wormhole: between
Have wormhole: is there anything to write?
openness wormhole: in the Java ‘n’ Jazz
skyline wormhole: the silent night of the Batman
space wormhole: I keep / waiting to be discovered and get lost in anticipation
time wormhole: circuitry
wind wormhole: step

If only all apocalypses were as beautiful. Perhaps they are. I just need to look more closely.

now, this puts me in mind of Promethea by Alan Moore and JHWilliamsIII, which I happen to be reading at the moment: apocalypses that were feared but didn’t happen as they were feared – not quite a children’s book but something I think you’d enjoy nevertheless

Ah, but we are all children beneath the layers of years. I will take your recommendation under advisement. Thank you!
