More in Release the Hounds

of saints and zombies

it'd been years since
i saw thomas aquinas

but he still looked
centuries dead
and mostly forgotten

his brown robe
was nasty and rotted
his skin mostly gone
and his skeleton
butterfly fragile

"why aren't you in heaven?"
i asked.

"things to do
Angels to weigh, "
he said.

I looked at him, "Isn't it clear now
that you're a saint
and God is right there
bitching at you all the time?"

"Time doesn't work like that
I'm dead."
