Residue Poem by Paul C. Maybury Jr.

Residue

Rating: ★5.0


If a god held the world in the palm of its hand,
And the world filled its hand as an orange fills ours,
A thin film of wetness the oceans would seem,
The forests a light green stain in its fingerprint's whorls.
Of us, not a trace.
Well...perhaps,
A slight stink.
