Gehenna is a garbage dump From where those there could see Heaven, new Jerusalem, Above, majestically. I saw it on the sidewalk, A rusting, one-edge blade. I picked it up and wrapped it up And threw the blade away.
Linked to dVerse Poetics. Mish is hosting with the theme “New World”.


I do love that first line… and maybe by doing those little things we will see a world much more beautiful

A poem simultaneously acted and written. And there is a beautiful contrast between the blade and the background.

Excellent poetics, Frank–one of your best. Take the first step, right on. Complacence is not for you (or us).
