1. The Photo
Donald sits
at the edge
of his chair
Leaning forward
Looking into
the middle distance
Arms resting
on his knees
Hands tensed
fingertips touching
(you've seen the pics)
Pensive -
as if he were
capable of thought.
2. Michelangelo
Donald sits
at the edge
of his chair
Locked in stone.
3. Narcissus
Donald sits
at the edge
Leaning forward
Entranced
by the
standing water.
4. Mount Moriah
Donald sits
His
red
silk
tie
dripping
from
his
throat
God did not stay
the father's hand.

ReplyDeleteExcellent. 4 whole new takes on Trump. Sacrificed on the altar... not of the Lord. What might he have become, if he had been saved from a father like his?
