Empty park benches.
Empty trees.
A smattering of bright dandelions
in the hopes of happy-making the
Empty lawn.
They have failed.
Until the sun strokes her
loving hand
across the earth's face.
This is a wasteland.
Maybe I should make a chain
Rip their uplifted faces from their
weeping tortured stems.
Maybe I won't.
I've had enough destruction for today.
And the God walks on
leaving miraculous footprints in
the sand.
His footprints are bullshit.
His footprints are lies.
Merely the footprints of a glorified
man.
Who lived and died, as all do.
The only thing miraculous
about Him
Is the gift of life,
That he had lived at all.
We are all Miracles.
