by MK Punky
Confess with me on supplicating knees
I’ve never known you in the flesh
We sinners
understand the knotty eschatology
pledged by unknown authors
cleansing the affront of ignorance
with a soapy rag of certainty
all of us Saint Pauls
slinging imprecations at a heathen world
closer to annihilation than salvation
To know you lord
I must make love to you lord
hear your moans lord
taste your human salt lord
feel with hands and lips your divinity
collecting pleasure tremors in anointed velvet
disbursing them like raindrops
until your promised return
eager to receive my meager tribute
inviting minor miracles
Serene
