TALKING TO GOD OR RATHER, AT

by Robin - Scorpio

talking to a God who doesn't talk back. 

this cheapened bliss hypnotises her 
mesmerized by the small things, all 
the simple things. trash painted over 
with rainbow-like colors again and then 
again. slowing the pace of a rushed life 
grabbing for air and flowers. visiting a 
grave with empty remains in nightmares 
that she will never shake. and the spiders 
crawl and the spiders bite and slowly, 
slower now, she's slipping. 

wake to the sound of your own voice. 
sleeping in your mind's gutters 
careful not to wake the angels. missed 
opportunity at goodness and she falls 
into her own mouth carelessly 

she just can't seem to get it right 
talking to a God who doesn't talk back.
