god died, this morning

god died, this morning.
she did.

yeah, for real.

she's out there, worm-ridden,
lying next to the cratered carcasses
of bomb-blasted balkan babies,
beneath the wept willow tree

(he has run out of tears, you see).

god died, this morning.
she did.

i'm not joking, man.

she's out there, maggot-infested,
sprawled atop the faceless frames
of twice-thrashed tutsi toddlers,
beside the silent robin's den

(he has run out of songs, my friend).

god died, this morning.
she did.

it's the truth, b.

she's out there, vulture-picked,
straddling the empty eyelids
of artillery-addled angolan adolescents,
near the bone-dry ancient stream

(he no longer has a source, it would seem).

god died, this morning.
she did.

i'm serious, yo.

she's out there, rat-knawed,
gripping the lost limbs
of grenade-gutted guyanese grownups,
across from the vacant flowerless gulch

(he has lost his hope, for mulch).



god died, this morning.
she did.

make no mistake, g.

she's out there, dog-bitten,
holding the hollowed hearts
of pistol-pounded palestinian pensioners,
behind the orchard that begs for renewal

(he has withered forever, you fool).
