Shadows of the Cosmos

Watch as we succumb to the divine.
Plans written on fragile parchment are blurring,
and all the bloody, sacred shadows of the cosmos
are aligning - seek shelter,

before these old actors
of busted, dirty decades
come for their toll.
We are imploding;

and the last lonely star,
harrowed in its singed space,
is glowing as gently
as the fire in our unholy eyes.
This poem reads well and that in itself is enjoyable. I very much get a sense of ending when reading this piece; maybe the end of the world or sometime in the group's life. The thing that stands out the  most for me is L1 of S2. before these old actors.... What's going on there; are they standing by or are "we" looking at a portfolio of old actors? And why not go for something more like Before old actors of busted, dirty decades...? 

Just some thoughts...Nice read.
