Test Swan

in one of His rages
God drowned the whole planet in His bath water
said Look at what you made me do
said This is the only way to get you clean
said This is an act of love
He left the obedient to float like
rubber ducks
like all toxic relationships
love was confused with mercy
and wrath considered a byproduct of intimacy
as is the occasional impulse to dismantle
everything you''ve created
and start from scratch
this destruction was followed by a promise to rebuild
to never destroy the same way again
