Grandma says at the end of days we'll place magnets in our palms, opposite prayer
The mark of the devil over our third eye as currency That God will destroy the world again: burn us down this time, not drown. Mom roams the desert: Vegas, Reno - looking for doves / a way back to grace Stepfather uses words like "breasts" and "tulip-flowers" Grandma says they worship demons & lesser gods After dark I look for stars, comets My mother's headlights Hurdling here / away Pray to God, whichever one Torch the Earth. Take all of us.
