we thought we had it all

This week’s poem comes from Rowan Wilde Riggs, author of Atomic Wonder.

poem.
we thought we had it all.
the absolute finite wisdom of chaos thought otherwise. 
marked by regalia of anointed fools and braggarts 
the wash of corrupted fiends embark with blades of agony unsheathed.
relentless in the pursuit of everything the nothing grows.
how can one stand and watch the fruit rot.
