The Sacramental Warhead
You entranced.
dripping with wildfire lust on the fir forest
that grows on my scalp.
Intrigue me with stories from the dawn of Man,
Lord and Lady carriages, a resplendent luxury
of your never ending revolutions.
Well, I lead the charge with my guillotine of metaphor...
you just have so many heads, Darling.
I think I lost your number somehow
it must have fallen
into the magnitude of possible tomorrows
I hid in your purse out of boredom.
As though you would ever carry a purse...
Did I confuse you with these begging
prophet games?
Spinning stories
of your Jesus Judas Pilate love.
No,
really, he betrayed himself
and killed himself
and washed his hands
when he was
resurrected.
I watched the whole thing
from your mother's house,
outside
They made us wear masks
because no one had ever mixed
that much good and evil before
and were worried the result might be
a sacramental mushroom cloud
of forgiveness and sin.
I said, "I know a girl who's done this."
They asked me to track you down,
but you never gave me your address
so I could only just point east or west.
Now you know why they make
the sign of the cross
during an air raid.
North. South. West. East.
They're looking for you.
