Heaven

When I was little heaven was 

cotton candy clouds.

Dead dangling feet 

over the edge.

Shoes swaying, 

some laces undone.

I misunderstood the idea of soles

being free.

Some were barefoot.

Because who needs shoes

to walk across marshmallows?

I still believe.

I still look up.

Only now I don't search for shoes.

I search for a ladder.

*****************

When I got older heaven was a blindfold.

People died and dissappeared.

Cloud poufs became powder kegs.

Shoes abandoned in the hall

some laces undone.

I misunderstood the idea of souls

no one is free.

We all die barefoot.

Who needs shoes

to rot in a hole.

I don't believe.

I don't look up.

Now I search for rain clouds

and wait to drown.
