if this is earth then what is heaven 

if the sun shines down on all i know 

on all i see 

all i can touch and reach 

making it puddles of warm gold 

like hot sand at the beach 

is heaven boiling oceans of that same metal? 

overflowing onto skin and houses

in magma tsunamis? 

if this is earth 

heaven is nothing

something i dont want to see 

heaven is rotten 

it is bursting at the seams with faces that gleam 

if this is earth 

quite frankly there’s nothing heaven can be
