Squaretable Seminars

Our place is covered in dust:
. chalky grey,
. peach,
. and mauve.
We stand on land compacted:
. brown and powdery,
. that crumbles and sticks
. like ash to the eyes.
We cannot shake this pale veil
. fallen like a shadow
. over the sun.
And that bright shining globe
. is the Vatican.
You might want to come
. visit before
. we’ve disappeared.
