Notes About The Poem

Three Dead Gods

+++

Three Dead Gods
Jesus
The world according to Art

Three crosses
            +++

Burdens
self infliction
caring, a full
blown crucifixion
            +++

	Three crosses burning
	in mid day sun
	I am ashamed
	not because
            +++

Two crosses are empty
only because there is one

             ++
