He decomposes under green lush
as thunder rolls across the sky
rumbling its displeasure.
I clutch flowering yellow weeds
while powerful magnetic forces
wrench him through the sodden earth
toward the mouth of his own tragedy.
The old gum tree is struck by lightning
and cracks the strongest branch in two.
Now we are truly separate, I chew the eucalyptus.
In this wilderness of awe
I wonder if the funk of my hatred
is equally putrid to the substance his corpse excretes.
Goodbye I cry
when he is sucked into the vortex
to live out an eternity of wrath.
Only the maggots remain as leftover reminders.
When the storm disappears,
warm rays engulf me.
Like a forgiving angel
the micro life wriggling at my feet dry up
and every weed is suddenly a rose.
With renewed strength
I let him go
and write off the cost of his tuxedo
as thunder rolls across the sky
rumbling its displeasure.
