Alpha and Omega
Like crows with gills lapping undertow
Churches burn on through the tempest
Omega she…flighty and buoyant, wastes
Alpha male clutches to the battlement
From the big bang
To the plane of flesh
They pulsate amid deathly rattling origins
Instruments of the fallout- no cease fire
As children of this mass contra
We stretch our sluggish time through
Capricious fingerings in school busses
Lost Wedding rings and church bells
To orgies of isolation and betrayal
Like fish with bills digging in the sand for oil
Alpha and Omega

There's a lot of promise in this even though I have a serious reservation about the third and fourth lines, which don't seem to make sense to me. I see what you meant to say, but I don't believe that's how it came out. Otherwise, this is not bad in the main. Keep on writing and I'm sure you will be a great poet someday.
