Fury Road Poem by Seaman Nemo

Fury Road



All too suddenly my grandmother's bones formed
A fractured constellation
Against the asphalt black sky
Your eyes wandered along the nearby spruces
Your thoughts to your daughter
And something in the corner of your view
A wild shadow of the coming night slowly descending
Along the staircase of the darkening branches
Such was the angle between the sun and the earth
Such the planetary conjunctions
Ways of the lord and hit-and-runners
And something flew off, a sparrow
Where had it came from and where was it heading for

The shadow above oozed its dead silent sleep like black sap
The church of the saints in the distance
Sunset shimmered on the gold leaf
Of its seven candle-flame domes
Forming a flickering isthmus
Between the three dimensions and the dimensionless
Morning came, perky sorrow in the morning
Morning with flaking rust on its hem
Flaming shadows on the wrecks at the junkyard
Rotten leaves gleaming here and there
Trails of angels crossing the sky
To southern destinations
To the comfort, to the palm paradise
