Transitional Valentine

It was a time between
when the imagination
was slowly being disappeared
and all that remained was
the crumbing residue of matter
behind which some could still see
the three altars set up
the three fires burning there
as the doors were gradually closing
so first we built pyramids and temples
then we built roads and cathedrals
then we built ships and skyscrapers
all of these pictures of ourselves
made as museums for the gods
until only our own flesh was left
