A

Ode To The Toilet-bowl I Flushed My Dead Goldfish Down


Returning

Once again

To the pools from whence you came

God’s throne accepts your soul

And allows your finished body

To rest

Among the waste of a physical world.

 

The moment has passed.

concrete Styx

down the hemispherical swirl the entrance gates the river of waste one golden physical beauty turns through corroded arteries of forgotten streambeds and waste creeks tiny and lifeless precious and tragic into the machines of this and that the floating ponds for murky footed ducks and flaming methane gas vent a flake of gold mongst distasteful slurry... O This was a fun poem Alobar all in the cycle of things things of earth go to the earth in gardens or the wilds and fish return their watery way !
