but we changed - my first of 2020 and my first in months



but we changed

stars multiplied in the drunk bedazzled sky
until holiest light blinded and cleansed

my  fact-burdened
my reality-burdened self

too concerned
with climate-change
and the American fascist error

that era
writ large
with pure foolishness
and celebrity

but we changed
that was the utter miracle of it

and we weren’t even aware of change
till long after

but back to colliding beliefs
unaware

of  their dangerous death-generating
subjectivity

but we changed
and this was the unbearable infinite made flesh

because it was only human change
that brings always that thud
in the end

but we changed
