photo taken at gallilee steel
blank, uncompromising shutdown

they seemed dazed, as though lost in a dream,
wandering about familiar things made alien and monstrous,
all unblinking symbols of impending loss -
like all the timecards never to be punched into the clock again.
for no reason the earth had shifted
and a vast chasm opened
that was separating them from
an innocent past, where such a blank, uncompromising shutdown
seemed
unimagineable.
