Anne Walsh: Saturday, 9th April, 2016 #9 Why God Limps



Why God Limps

 Our separation is a trophy hunter

killing endangered species for sport,

a fat white rich guy laughing

over the body of the last red wolf.

Our separation is a multi-national

poisoning the locals under the law,

all the fish dead and the kids sick.

Our separation is  burning trees

and all the books that might have been.

Our separation is no river echo, no location

for a bat to hang in they can’t sleep

without the night upside-down with our kiss.

Our separation is a steel-jaw trap

god is caught in and she can’t get back

to her kids without chewing her own leg off.

Our separation is why god limps.
