Aftermath

inferno from unearthly womb

explodes with vast discordant bursts

symphonic hammer tolls the truth

of opera singing life undone

withholding the pretentious taste

of self-indulged metallic soul

beneath our toil, the last, the first

the reasons why are left unknown

I love that you pack so much into such a short poem. I think that it takes a skilled writer to recognise when less is actually more in terms of artistic delivery.

It is perfect, complete...

This has very vivid imagery. I love the line "symphonic hammer tolls the truth"

[Jeremy Baker]

Mysterious amd dark - great metaphors of life and death. I love the message in this.
