The supermen
Semitic supermen, soldiers
with little machines
that tick at the click of command,
soar high above the sites of sorrow
where dark dreams of fire die
to the tune of fiendish wings.
Even small birds have cannons,
burning bushes
with gloomy berries of ash
throw no light
on bones and ruins,
on the nightmare of destruction.
Finally the moon fell backward
into a starry patio
where power was secluded.
Dust and debris
flew like broken doves,
there was no god.
Then there were houses
distorted into burning ovens
turning families to crisp,
there was anticipation
hanging in the sky
all night long.
