"Hell is empty and all the Devils are here." ~William Shakespeare
Empty
(a 55)
The door to
the henhouse is
always unlocked
for inside there are
only wind eggs.
The Fall
is a tryptich:
blackness, dead hearts,
disingenuous calculations. At
the apex
of chaos we have our
decumbiture,
no thaumaturgy created
cures corrupted
senescence.
Don't
turn the key
to lock in nothing;
just open the door
for the foxes.

On November 19th, 2021, Kyle Rittenhouse, 18, was acquitted of 5 counts of homicide for the August 25th 2020 murders of two men and the attempted murder of a third. The men were protesting the shooting of a black man, Jacob Blake, by a white police officer in Wisconsin. The jury ruled that Rittenhouse, who crossed state lines with an assault weapon to "protect property" not belonging to him, acted in self-defense.
