Sensory Overload

 

Ken Shiovitz

 

Soft, as a stick skewers silent marshmallow,

Firm as false-faith in concrete, now powder,

Hot, as a girder glows orange-yellow, sparking,

Cold as a curse, cutting fouled Fall air.

 

Soft, as an airplane probes pulp of stiff tower,

Firm as a nation’s resolve to recover,

Hot as a hound’s breath in relentless pursuit,

Cold as pure justice, delivered when due.
