Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos,

calloused, overworked, hands

Witch comes first, death or birth

Across the dry, barren, burned out lands

Reminds me somewhat of A Dakini Night Poem by Traktung Rinpoche

Nice dystopian poetry. Actually really good. 🎇Enjoyable to read. You should “scrawl out” more “doggerel” 🙏😇

… but don’t you see anything to rejoice in…?

Just curious… 🙏♥️🎇
