Judgment Day

by Evelyn A. So
copyright 2008

We’re back here again, caught
in this endless kírkos of blame.
Who owes whom? How much?
Until when?

Even if we forgive each other’s
old debts, another roomful
waits for the chance to come
face to face with its creator.

Karma, your currency’s no good
here; it’s our faith that’s in mortal
danger. What’s the sum
of our deficits and saving
graces? The chips are down

and the wheel keeps spinning.
Only the banker knows what
change to make and the back
door to the house where all
bets come.

Note: “Judgment Day” is featured in the new issue of Reed Magazine.

Evelyn So will be featured along with poet Wendy Taylor Carlisle and artist David Larimore this August 24th, 2008 at Thursday Gig at 24 N. Santa Cruz Avenues, 6:30-9:30 PM. Improvisational music will be played by John Kurtyka and Chris Arcus.

About Eos: The Creative Context

This blog/magazine Eos: The Creative Context encompasses/invites art, poetry, memoirs, social/political/healing commentary to help create a wider creative context in which we can inspire and be inspired by each other.

About "Eos:"
Eos was originally the Greek Goddess of the Dawn. For us now she can help represent our ability to manage the New Age rapidly coming towards us. She is often depicted on her chariot guiding her two winged horses. She encourages us to take the reigns of our destiny and to make and explore what that can be. (Note: The sculpture in the masthead is called "Eos Re-emerging" by Bea Garth, copyright 2008.)

COMMENTS:
As editors, we highly encourage comments and discussion. It helps the authors and artists to know others are paying attention. It is our hope this blog can become a lively place where we communicate back and forth.

In order to make comments on someone's artwork, poetry or article etc., please click the word "comment" at the bottom of a particular post.

If you don't already have a Google account, you then need to sign up for one now. The Google request actually will have popped up after you hit comments, asking for your account name and email address--or to sign up if you haven't already.

To sign up with Google costs you nothing. You need to type in your current email address, however that address won't be visible by anyone. You then can take on a pseudonym -- or not. Afterwards there are some letters and numbers that you need to identify so Google can make sure you are who you say you are.

You can write a comment of most any length. And the Google/Blogger system will send it to me to preview it. I am very open minded, however I will not publish posts that are disrespectful of the various authors and artists here. Its fine to disagree, just do so respectfully.
