If I believed in heaven

abigfatcanofworms Uncategorized October 27, 2022October 27, 2022 1 Minute

when you’re up there
standing on glass
like the flat-bottomed clouds

I can see your soles
soft footprints on the blue

and you can see 
how down here 
the ground is all aslither
grass in constant oscillation,
silver and beige and billiard-felt

and us gawping up
tiny pale faces
like fish in a puddle

written for Twiglet #302. “fish in a puddle”

We all walk in the dark. But if we hold hands, perhaps the dark won't be as scary. View all posts by abigfatcanofworms
