help us to understand
(not that we would change
anything)
God has no hands

God has no hands.
We are the ones
with the hands!

– destruction brought on
by men’s sins alright:
hubris
greed
denial
myopia
dereliction
disinterest
inempathy
incompetence
colony collapse
restless legs
identity theft
tainted eggs
leaded Barbie
cancer genes
home invasion
tainted greens
diseased hearts
deadly sin
broken parts
tumbling in
tasered youth
speech bereft
monks for truth
what love is left?
popping pills
guns in school
glossy pages
skinny cool
homeless nola
no one cares
bullies at war
shiny wares
early risers
sound alarms,
can’t convince
of coming harms
he is a coward
August 27, 2007
he once stopped by
and promised to resolve
my shattered bones.
he dried my tears,
placed a candle in my heart,
but not a flame.
he proclaimed,
I will never abandon you.
then he left.
he left to have sex
with violence – like John Wayne
slapping a woman.
although he showed up,
he never returned.
again and again.
