MARK A. FISHER
gravity

innocent souls
light
would waft towards heaven
on dust devil dreams
if such things exist
but the weight of sin
holds our obese shadows
to this tacky world
of cakes and candies
and cinnamon sticky buns
that cling
to all except ascetic anorexics
lost in their own madness
while we
upon death
are rendered down
in some Zoroastrian hell
to make candles
– illumination
that reaches past
mere sky
