falsehood

Cathedral in a cloud-gravestones cry
onto a raven's wing above the flames
of a church roof burning. Rain lies on
forgotten graves-dreams lie and dreamers
die is there a state that corresponds with
spirits that abscond . The sea establishes
the status of a drowning king, smoke penetrates
a ravens wing,the king's narrative echoes off
disparate tongues that fail to cohere into a whole.
Church clock hands feign knocking on heaven's door,
a planet shocks it's guests into confronting the ghost
that is more real than them as it amplifies the sound
of thermometers fainting-mother earth shuffles her seasons.
