Little miracles are fireflies;
When I catch one, I snap it
To sizzling gloop on my palm
So your god could patch my blisters
With golden thread, instead of the raw
Scraped rubber I spin on
Or tug his dandelion angels from the grave
To levitate me, regal, never to walk another step
Still, I'd deny him.
Little miracles are broken glass;
When the sun drizzles, they could be
Tiny flesh-encrusted jewels
But your god could heal my eyesight
Enhance my Eden to iridescence,
Blooming softly, gleaming,
Or clasp my skull like china forever
Precious, careful as the ****** mother with my brain
I swear I'd deny him.
In a fit of passion, push
Blazing rafts down from heaven
Euphoric streams through my window
Replace my dropped smiles
Like old, shameful sweet wrappers
With hosts of lovers, heather, art,
And me, still scrawling
'Return to sender'
Little miracles are burbling infants
Superseded by the howl of war
They do not revive fossils or friends
Or pelt Australian treetops with fluorocarbon
They are glitter in the carpet
A barbeque for nirvana
A burden
You must deny, deny, deny
(You have my word that so will I).
Either everything is an act of god, or nothing is.
