Convoluted Apathy

Exodus in the dark: golden lioness stands
a tawny, brilliant edifice 
She is Chernobyl raising the doves.

Stone kamikaze follow me: into the fire:
my war. Tariff on my mother
Cubicle squares another suicide.

Do what you must, but reality
A misunderstood turn of phrase;
The inferno within us all.
