Something Fantastic

Something fantastic
As light —
That bends and seeks your
Soul through the labyrinth
Of lies you’ve built up
Like a Babel Tower
With misleading stairs
And shocking nooks —
Prevails
To tear us down to your
Dregs.

Follow the
Light fantastic or
Rebuild the Tower?

Tips for sleeping

as soundly as a cat

in the pandemic.
