get you gone

“And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves, and bring you up from your graves, O my people.”  Ezekiel 37:13

like a mother

with her little girl,

you grab us by the hands

and swing us round and round

in never-ending circles,

while death slinks

back into the shadows,

with its tall tale tucked

between its legs
