Sacre Coeur
A degree of sadness that ignites the heart
More than Bill-and-Melinda-Divorce sad
Different than Duke-Hastings-Exits-Bridgerton bereft
Nearer to Tree-Less-City-Parks distraught
Yesterday-Leafy-Today-Denuded disconsolate
Once-Living-Trunks-Now-Dead-Pyres devastated
Jesus squats among the remnants
Accepts their weight when they lean in
“You have ministering angels who can do that!”
I want to stomp, but the recently-
Have-been-departed rest
Their heads on His shoulders
Their wails close to His ears
I don’t believe He would hear me
“This is below your paygrade!”
“You’re in the wonder-working business!”
I try to curse, but the desolated
Have fallen into His lap
Their snot soiling His undyed robe
I don’t expect Him to hear me
