Wading Through Frogs


Wading through frogs
going about business,
not wanting God.
the yellowed dead
button eyes
bear witness,
glinting in the
stinking reeds--

no forgiveness.
crunching jellied
bones among buzzards--
swooping dark stars blotting
the blood-rimmed sun--
their hard, darting beaks going

pick peck pick peck pick,

raw cawing saw-winged Satans
pulling at our pulsing hearts.

No forgiveness....
