Time’s Echo

There’s always a prequel 

to any drama

in the theatre of war

a practice run

a Guernica

a rehearsal

for what is to come.

It was always misty

in history’s theatre,

lost in the words of cloudy time

but now the fog is so dense

that we can see nothing,

understand nothing

of the power play unfolding.

And we’re so swamped 

with possibilities

it’s impossible 

to know

which will be

the first step

the harbinger

of things to come

back where they began

or Time’s echoing

of the end.
