Paintness
If it kills God,
let less happen.
Even out the nations’
wraths, emasculate
palaces, paint
the White House black.
Make oceans
disappear quietly
and widen the moon
to look like you.
Deface these
unpredictable mountains
and erase
the beaches,
our bombs and their bunkers,
all technological features
of Bethlehem and Mecca.
Massage our bandaged gashes.
Reconcile your sadness
and humiliate our ashes.
