I'm glad you like it. It's part of a larger series of sonnets and pseudo-sonnets and sonnet-like-objects, each of which is supposed to describe a different major catastrophe or apocalypse. The meta-narrative of the series is that they're each an exhibit in a multiversal museum of tragedies in bygone worlds. I've toyed with the idea of accompanying each with a very dry encyclopedia-esque entry bluntly describing the event that the poem discusses.
I know that most of my poetry ends up very difficult to parse or contextualize, and that's a consequence of my usual state of mind when writing and the topics that I want to discuss. I'm generally far too stubborn to make real concessions for comprehensibility.
