Today
the sky opened up
and I was swallowed
by outrageous pity
That billions, trillions,
umpteen-quadrillions
of living things have come and gone
and more there will be
yet while Satan fell before me,
I the hapless scribbler
amateur wordsmith
far from fearing death
or that everything near
faced fiery disintegration
am incensed I am without pen and paper
and even if I could
before I melt
compose a simple thing right then
describing the moment
when all life ended
and the light when out
