Aliens

*Emptiness* by Ramazi Kazishvili

Aliens

If 
We
Dig
Down
In
This 
Forsaken
Place,
We’ll
Find
Left
Over
Fragments
Of 
The 
Race
Who
Long
Ago
Preceded 
Us.
With
Scarcely
Any
Fuss
And
A 
Long
Handled
Spoon,
We
Can
Delve
Right
Into 
Their 
Living
Room,
Partially
Intact
From
The
Last
Nuclear
Attack.
Here,
A
Dynasty
Of
Kings
Were
Blown
To
Smithereens
By
Ancient
War
Machines.
Fill 
Your
Knap
Sacks
With
Artifacts
Atomic
From 
Antique
Conflicts
Mostly 
Economic,
Or
A
Foolish
Quest
For
Power,
Finalized
In
A
Toxic
Shower.
