“Red White and Blue”
Inspiration piece
Split
By Lisa Nielsen
Response
Torn from the black tar of
waters once greasy with life,
the soulless endeavors of
the placaters of fortune, having
price-tagged the sky,
are check mated.
There once was a sun
A moon
Some stars
But now the ions and atoms are pulverized
crushed
split
The horizon disappeared
leaving an aching canvas,
with no one to paint it.
You can see gravity now
Yet our flag is still there
