Black Friday

Dishing out dollar bills
is not the way to healing

stockpile success in closets and drawers
drown the sickness you're feeling

in boxes, in things, instead
stack them high like bricks

until the faintest of breezes blows by
a house is made of matchsticks

into this land I sink myself
pouring in every drop of faith that I've got

the runoff is soiled, polluted
unable to soak it in, it pours out over the top

ruin
all for a day
