Rainbow of Another Life

by Larry

Life’s emotional pitchfork

scares me like a blade of danger.

A soulless wrinkled casing is prepared for disintegration

as the rainbow of another life rises into the air.

The sky cries steel

while a pirate smiles, a crescent moon.

The genetic chain is the glue of guilt

from my 31st cousin, the human race.

Everyday

is my day of mourning death,

and my day of celebrating life,

for the rest of eternity.
