What remains

He’s dead. I watched Him die.

As faith waned over the years, we all knew it was only a matter of time. So, now, God is gone. The age-old adage “The world keeps turning” still remains true - if only for a moment.

I needed to confirm my fears.

On Earth I held my ear to the ground and screamed, drowning out Nina Simone bellowing “Mississippi Goddam” through a taxi’s speakers.

The Devil was laughing, and I could feel the earthquake beginning to stir.
