the spark was there just a minute ago
and now it is gone. a
flash in the pan upon
crooked fingers
holding too tightly,
lifting the sauce and the
spark is gone away somewhere unseen.
an obscenity.
a true crime.
vanished like that (snap the fingers)
so sudden, but where does it go?
there is talk
of holy nights and bright, yellow days
but without spark, there is only someone else to take its place.
a happy soul one day,
fertilizer the next.
placed in a box
and
lowered
into
the
dirt.
ground up in instant meals
found in the freezer section.
processed and tainted to the tastes of a new world.
and someone is born in that very second-
maybe the spark
still
exists.
