what remains

god

grant me the belief

to not need belief

in a god

*

he wanted to prove

that he was sorry

so he dangled there

like an exclamation

which left most with

a question mark

and silent remark

of how all could

be improved

*

there is no redemption

only redefinition

on there is

*

when i will die

i will have all this

stuff i haven’t done

and all this stuff i have

throw out the bits

of me that remain

like dust

and start working on

that which i haven’t

yet got to do

you are all

i have left
