You are a double defibrillator.

You made a stopped heart beat not once,
But twice.
Made me shake with the pangs of reanimation.
Made me groan, writhe, and foam at the mouth.

Thank you.

You are two tiny windows,

A lost chapel,
With a baseball sized hole in the stained glass
And graffiti on the inside.

It's good to see the kids are still painting
Even if only by numbers.

It's no Sistine Chapel, admittedly,
It's more like gang signs with crayons.
Implying ownership.

Why do I care?

Most people open their arms to God.
You use other appendages,

And that's okay.

You are a near death experience,

And I am a mere factory of metaphors,
Rapidly outsourced.
What kind of artist am I when I'm embittered by the fact that I can't own all the beauty? This is progress in poetry, my friends.
