The Hawaiian Sky Teaches Me the Story of Abraham
by Polley Poer
And how godly it is
to see how soft
it must’ve looked
at the beginning
of time I used to believe
Adam and Eve fucked
around in my own back-
yard in the cornfields feeding
the same horses I fed
as a child with both hands
apple slices in my palms
I got bit
before I knew what
a hellscape was
or the lava that blood-
spewed underneath
I don’t remember who said it
but we know now
Jupiter is burning & there is
no promised land
