there are days
the earth has wondered
what God has found
so engaging in humanity
aren’t they themselves
only one wind
evolved from dirt
and as Christ died,
creation wondered
if humanity was
even worth it
tombs
in mourning
not wanting to house
a dead savior,
they retired,
chose rather to collapse
upon themselves
allowed the dead to walk
from their graves
and the sun
needing time to pray
retreated farther
into space
refused to shine,
refused to watch
its savior die
and the earth
thinking it could help
tripped upon itself
rushing to His side,
trembled,
shook
trying to dislodge
the cross from its grasp,
trying to wake
Jesus to consciousness
and creation dismayed
blamed all
of humanity
thinking what manner
of creation are these
that they
consume gods
