Upon each childish arco iris, the words:
‘Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch’intrate’*
From each portal, tongues of searing heat
And lamentations of the damned

I took this in for as long as I could bear
And moved towards the next humiliation
Ruminating on the aphorism:
Humans are victims of their own invention

 

* Dante Alighieri "The Divine Comedy, Inferno"

Very Very, Heavy, and I don't even understand some words.

Rather think about nice things, like real actual rainbows.

Hi Nolan. Thanks for dropping by. Heavy? Yes. I tried to write something about a walk along the canal, but it didn't work out. Heavy times. Hope you're OK.
