From the Cross to Eternity this Saturday

From the cross to eternity this Saturday,
we watched a man sip another’s suicide cocktail,
saw a tornado and its one hundred halos in Oklahoma.
A funeral can be a party now. Death can get caught
on camera like a shoplifter, pockets stuffed
with God knows what — and He does, no doubt,
know how a woman stamped two lives on a wall after
sending her car into the brick like a gun. No matter.
I was late for work. There was only time to imagine
a blue plastic sled, pressing my cheek against it.
