how it started

by Lori St. George

at the time,
i was
marooned.
never
at the mercy of my emotions.
survivor predator
with noble intentions
approximately.


i could not
realize it
or embrace
it.
the axis of the planet
“surely shifted”
on your arrival.
i looked at my bible.

“I don't think god would be on board with this.”


you say,
soon there will be anarchy
and me.
“don't use words you don't understand.”

your heart beats fast
near me
“don't use words I don't understand.”

That is really fascinating. I don't care for hte capital 'it's' but i love the bible glance and teh God ref..and the twist with the ending on the earlier reference. It's all good.
