Dear Iceland
Dear Iceland,
“Almost eradicated” the headline reads.
Tests spot extra genes
Future without disease.
Ninety-percent
One loop too many
Snipped.
Green goggles.
Disney songs.
Library short cuts.
Stories told.
Joy woven
From a boy of
One loop too many.
Questions circle.
Certain pain?
Hope of gain?
Choice chosen wrong
Pierces two.
One loop too many
Unraveled.
Painless life,
Earth’s folly.
The Fall birthed hurt,
The Son saved hope.
Someday,
One loop too many
Perfected.
View from above,
Spiraling down.
Remember the flower,
Woven of
One loop too many
Stubborn,
Strong,
Thriving.
Perfect fall,
Who can attain?
Creation mirrored in
Creator’s eyes:
People of
One loop too many.
