THE DECIDING VOTE




and one of her legs is
caught on a strange piece of
machinery and she smiles

not the sun but the
next best thing and there’s no
pain she says and there’s no
blood but this day has dragged on
                                                too long

clouds have moved in

the hills have grown taller
more angular
more threatening

the dying season
you see

age of fear
age of starvation
age of genocide

take your pick and
cross your heart

build cathedrals to the
highest part of the
empty sky

make your
empty hands holy
