the only technology worth saving is language

i only want to talk about love
at a time like this. for example: what a trick god played when she said let there be light and there was light. what a trick god plays when she breaks open the firmament and sunlight topples the earth. strikes its yellow hand upon the spotted coat of a snow leopard. its claws pierced through the furred body of a pika as i sit safely within the last discerning moment of the world, within the last discerning moment of this poem about the sun calling forth the night we were alone in a room with nobody else in it and woke to the sun alone in a room trying to save the only thing worth saving |
