~ Nuciferas

we’ve heard it all
ribbons of words snaking through
wrapping and wrapping
a bow to delight the babies
but they’ve heard it all before
red, blue, and white
blood sweat and tears
rebuilding on the corpses of yesterday
a eulogy turns into a wedding
and “I do’s” rumble on as the earth quakes
