Minus the Gloom

doom’s petals are lustrous
darkness isn’t one of her virtues

though her rain may feel
at first like benediction

her triphammer heart is small
as the first domino

and her nails are real
her paint and her bullets
still have lead

quietly as water she gathers
everywhere there’s a hole

lost tribe missing mountain destroyed
village extinct species

doom came dressed up
as enlightenment once

now on a casual friday
she fits right in
