One thought on “Withdrawing from Iraq”

1. Is it like this:

   RELIGION

   I could hear his feet retreat
   but I never saw his face
   in that he was like a god
   only visible in artifacts

   that there is only one true
   holy apostolic poetry church
   a priest speaks thusly
   assembling his gods

   a drain pipe suits me better
   if you have any rain for a soul
   that moment growth is triggered

   after too much dreaming
   seems god-like enough for me
   I saw we were here before.
