Let burn the prophet’s voice
and tally every word commanded
given way to ash and entropy
cruciform and clear to the silent multitude
who knew it as the sun’s last setting
A world on fire and longing to become ash
as the sky whispers a thousand songs
to be remembered by the dead and forsaken
who have heard it all before
