Aging Heavens

by

you
your paper

weightless


ant farm
crisis


cut out
churches


women 
no say

sleep in parades

social crucifix 

stealing time

it was never yours
never mind

flag dream 
elm street

taking chances
placing bets

big blue

names fall 

sweat drops

our land

taken

(Does it bother you at all mama?)

my hair

broken

home
unknown

Secret stories

by the window

blending in
bunnies swept 

under
never heard


you got in with money
what about him, her?


reflections
deferred


broken
sinners 


want to 

start over

You better find paradise,
heaven is getting older.
