Desert Empire

Sorry for another shameless piece of self promotion, but I thought shalomers might like this. It's a poem of mine published at an online journal called Unlikely Stories, and compares these "end times" to the fall of the Roman Empire, the desert fathers etc. Not an original comparison perhaps but never a subject for poetry until now. Worth it for the line: "Here comes the weather!" at least...Hope you enjoy it!

I did enjoy it! Nicely done!

I'm thinking you've probably read Carlo Caretto's The Desert in the City? I read it years ago and could probably enjoy it more these days.

Haven't read that. Might do. Another job for the iPad mini?
