Poetry: A Trumpet Sounded....

Between bouts of domesticity today, there is art and poetry....

A TRUMPET SOUNDED

A trumpet sounded.
The heavens cracked like an egg,
spilling wild angels,
all across the world.
And those who thought themselves saved,
found that they were lost.
While those who were lost,
were lifted up, into glory.
The earth became a dream
the damned were doomed to endure
over and over,
banal and joyless,
without a hope of waking.
But it was not hell.
Hell was a story,
a viral idea gone wrong,
infecting the world.
God was not so cruel,
to burn a soul forever,
just for eating shrimp.
