My apocalypse
arrives without instructions
corn cakes anyoneThe potter’s wheel spins
soft clay glides beneath skilled hands
hard fired stone revealedGrain centuries old
stored safe to stave off famine
sustenance wastedBarley and water
experiment forgotten
lo and behold beerAlone in the dark
strange sprouts whisper bold secrets
ergot tastes of death
Reminiscent of the opening of pyramids—stockpiling for the afterlife!
