Turtle Hand God
{gone}
I think God took you away.
That blissful- ancient mist of man.
Simply swept you up one day
with a big turtle hand.
Turned you into a pillar of marble,
in place of your warm, sweet skin.
Scribbled a few words to replace your smile.
Cold numbers in place of a shimmering rainbow... 1969-2001.
My nuclear winter...how devastatingly cold.
{gone}
Thoroughly hoed my Eden mind.
Velvet flowers uprooted by a R.I.P. current.
To make room for plastic words- plastic flowers
sprinkled with salt and sorrow.
{gone}
