The Days of Trump #14


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.

  2. Excellent. 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?
