God's Ecophagy

Updated: Sep 20, 2022

By Richard Mather



God was striding the heavens

when Snake emerged

from a bone black gap

between the wet green grasses.

Six days passed and Earth

was in the belly of Snake

and the cosmos reduced

to a pile of newsprint.

God tore his clothes

and made for himself

a garment of lamentations.

But Snake, pitiless, scoffed him

beneath the apple tree.

And the universe was void

of life, except, of course,

for Snake…


and you and me (obviously).
