Lions And Possums
I've carved lions and tigers
but never the possums
or the beavers which
taught us how to build
and better to flee to the
threats of bark.
Shattered marbles,
never roll back
and are done for,
not even keeps
are worth it.
Killing myself
over this,
and yet,
the washing machine
tumbles again.
But this time,
I won't be Christian ed
for your vanity
Obsession
with me.
You can't destroy
the worse of deeds
in the black mirror
Face your own weeds.
