Time-Bomb

Mina Loy

1882 to 1966

Poem Image

The   present   moment
is   an   explosion ,
a   scission
of   past   and   future

leaving
those   valorous   disreputables ,
the   ruins ,

sentinels
in   an   unknown   dawn
strewn   with   prophecy .

Only   the   momentary
goggle   of   death
fixes   the     fugitive
momentum .
