The end had gone on
so long. Everything stopped
exactly when the clock
bonged twelve times,
midnight on Sunday.
Construction halted,
buildings halfway up
abruptly ceased. Most
faulted the government.
Jacob wandered here
and there. Food was
scarce. Crooked ladder
leaned on a brick wall,
stopped in mid-air.
Where could he go
from here. Ascending
the ladder, he was able
to peer into stars,
galaxies, planets. Moon
beckoned. Jacob reckoned,
what had he to lose?
He reached out, and was
pulled into a heaven of
new beginnings.
Nice.
