Jesus Money: How I'm Spending My Promotion Dollar

yard sale old-size levi's
left-over change converting
to farmer's market

four quarters 
still in the pocket
free to buyer who paid a dollar

crop circle
corn whiskey dizzy
same-sex designs she crouches down

right in the middle of it
hawk drops a feather she spits like a grasshopper
grand canyon screams

wet barnwood
rain penetrating distance
interior map she drove herself there

tomorrow's woodcutters
drive the bees to her trees
raccoon clawmarks look like hieroglyphs in translation

oil lamp flame flickers
midnight to twilight prophecies float to the top
amber in the mason jar whiskey tells no lies

yesterday's sheaves cut
bible pages torn it folded giraffe origami
stretching the neck of truth  

yard sale old levi's
jesus money in my pocket
how I'm spending my promotion dollar
