...and then gods looked down upon the earth, and they yawned... the death of humanity is a hope and prayer amongst rabbits and quail...

Working from home at a dumb pointless job, every time I stare down in disbelief, @ditchwaterghost.bsky.social 's Whiskey Bottle Saint reminds me to stop believing things have a point, like a mark.

Apples. Smoldering
In the grass.
Stained with
Pigeon smoke.

**

Smoldering, the
Apples cut in
The air- pigeon
Pecked- moss
Stink.

**

In the Mouth
Of pigeons-
Apple smoke-
Smoldering like
Grass fire.

The moss taste
Of man
Between the
Tongue- tooth-
The jaw stained.

**

The moss taste-
Skin of man,
A tongue pressed
To tooth, jaw
Stained with dew.

**

Moss taste-
Mangled into the
Skin- a man's
Tongue pressed
Against tooth,
Dew stains throat.

Some gods are meant
To be thrown away

The gods have come to fuck,
Hungry- shivering with river silt-
Teeth breaking in the heat of
Bones, salt- skin clear of spit.
