Royal blue skies and,
Atomic bomb clouds
Over Coburg Hills,
Bursting shadows of fire,
Like angels blushing at
Being caught in the sun.

A Meditation Upon the Future
Posted in H.J. Herrick on November 5, 2010| Leave a Comment »
Today is the day, the moment when the first step is taken. The peak, the climax, wherefrom every step is easier, faster, closer to doom. This is where the foundation stone is laid, and the past is cleared away to make room for sidewalks, irrigation, and the rest. This is it. This is ground zero. The future blooms like a mushroom cloud. Shockwaves blast outward, searing the Earth, turning sand to glass, ripping trees from the ground, vaporizing houses, burning our shadows into the ground, laying waste to our past.
Every Last River

Against the fall of night, over the phone, tell me things I have done. Tell me reasons. Say to me how I am lost, and you are found. Ignore yourself. Drive me to drink. Drive me to smoke. Sometime when silence comes, ask me to stray, to stay away. Promise me dazzling loneliness. Promise me remembrance and regret. Remind me that tears run away and away into the sea, and the sea remains salt. On some distant day, meet me by chance. Don’t recognize me. Walk past me, oblivious, carrying a newborn in your arms. Haunt me with that memory until every last river finally stops inching, ice.
