cascading thunder and

how would we know celebratory

from cataclysmic

especially when, either way,

someone is celebrating

a winning run,

the downfall of the West

say what you will—we had it coming

Now we are bathed in a blue light

inside and out

more beautiful than we ever could have dreamed

or pretended to be

what a triumph

Somewhere

far from here

far from the end the author of this story had in mind

all the archetypes are laying down their weapons

to surrender
