SABBATH IN 3 ACTS

1

i grope darkness

and she coos by my side

i inhale her incense breath

and i sing non sequitur songs of blank verse

into her mouth

and in that moment there is no past or future or any chance of regret

there is only what is

and what is

is religion

 

 

2

i want to feel flesh

i want to tear skin

i want coroners to be able to check your dental records by examining my neck

i want your love to tattoo dangerous and deranged designs upon my soul

and i want their outlines to be visible though my tee-shirt

don’t make love to me

make life to me!

 

 

3

when my grandchildren ask me "have you ever loved?"

I want you to be that far away look that answers their question

and i sing non sequitur songs of blank verse
into her mouth"
