There's an open throat
man throwing bibles at
a dog faced child.
"Save Me! Save Me!"
There's absolution
in the words of the unborn.
"Save Me! Save Me!"
There's a hole in the ocean,
where the water divorces
the sun.
And there's a hole in the
child where the bullet
annexes the gun.
Pray for evaluation.
Pray for salvation.
This is an organ ground
opera, ears
pricked up for the coda
of devastation.
There's a whole
open world speaking in tongues.
"Save Me! Save Me!"
There's a crucifixion,
but it seems overdone.
He hangs half-mast screaming,
"But He Forgave me! Forgave Me!" |
