A god isn't worthA drop of water in the hell of his goodImagination, if we can't curseSunsets & threaten to forsake himIn his storehouse of belladonna,Tiger hornets, & snakebites.
Komunyakaa looks to nature and configures his own paradigm, in which an event as commonplace as the jewel wasp laying an egg in a cockroach becomes every bit as From Hearsay to Heresy, these 132 poems, each consisting of four quatrains, are framed by innuendo and lively satire.
