the electrician
did you have to use a ladder
   to change the sun ?
will any of this matter
   when there isn't one ?
when the night goes on forever
and we press our backs together
to witness great collisions
when planets spin blindly
into each other,
shattering into pieces,
releasing the old invincible
stardust sperm half-gods,
kings and queens of construction.
O laborers angelic,
drive those hammers into the void ! (      )
reverberate new hymns and work songs
    for the unborn inhabitants
                  of whatever world it is
                                   you are building.
