poem

your 
flourescence 
foaming 
at the mouth
flimsy thin facade
spitting out
droplets of God
fledgling
final vows 
vast horizons
unseen
unheard
untouched
time swelling large
unused
horizontal dreams
drift on muted wings
heathen's heaven
awaits no one
and
everyone.


you were christian 
once
begging for miracles
praying for fools
watching the
hole in the sky 
open up
to swallow hard the
infidels
you lay prostrate 
on the grass
wondering
how its all going down.
festooned in 
ribbons and roses
Mary stands
stoic in the wind
blinking back tears
wondering
what went wrong
and watching
the sky turn
dark 
and clouds
swirl and whirl 
then disappear into 
dust.
