NEW POETRY

all the balloons were sent back
living God in front of the bomb
the strawberry rotates like a peak
at the end of an agreement
I want to talk about the wisdom of the tree
angel branch
efforts to incur God
now we are surprised at the link
back to the driver’s head in high grass
I will believe in heaven in the apocalypse
in war with understanding
is a falling nuclear bomb.
