a pair of pessimistic eyes

ignore the igniting double-rainbow

that kindles neath a dead pot of homemade anxieties.

give him a saucer of no water

and he’ll tell you all the dreams

over the drowsing sky; no prayers

at the church made up of sand.

a pleasing idea, God,

because you don’t see,

all things bright and too holy

don’t notice you in return.
