"Genesis Redux"
In the beginning the empty sky was witness
to pain but I no longer believe in myths.
I believe in the gun nestled snug in a dresser
drawer, next to a bra. I believe in the clip
wrapped in a handkerchief, hidden in the back
of a closet, behind a pair of shoes.
It’s been far too long since words made sense
and the pool room logic in the air
is nowhere near the truth. I believe a shot
glass is large enough to hold the future--
I don’t believe in dead men or doors that lead
to open roads. I no longer believe in myths.
