The President of the Shadow of the United States |
|
under cracking
water
only the sitting
president will land
in loving arms
followed by so
many other shadows
absorbed by shadows
half-rubbed into
middle earth
cursing the cursed
their unspirits rise
to be pulled out
of the fields
during harvest time
and the poor
shall be forced
to live in infamy
from soil that can't
be cleansed or ripped
or peeled away
the moistening fog
of religion
