Get Karma

Kyle Hemmings

Maybe next time
your morning reflection
will smile back at you
without trace of tinsel
or eyeliner, the most expensive
toothpaste, specks of. Or maybe,
by some other wet Tuesday,
the oranges will taste sweeter.
You might meet a big hairy man
whose version of love
is based upon the simple
skeleton buried under
his backyard. He’d never
leave you or his dogs.
Oh, there are those
who’d say that as a corpse,
as a burnt wick,
you’d look so pure, so satiated.
Maybe when the world implodes
and becomes perfectly round,
you’ll come back
with a better starting salary
and all the right connections.
