and i would listen to my prayers fade into silence
and echo off, and elliding, i'd curse the filth of a cross
to bear, a weight along the lateral line.
i'd write goodbye again, but i'd wait there, biding my time.
my blasphemous tongue would sing
"how i feel unloved by god".
but as always, i'd appreciate the red wine,
the better to feel my senses all ignite.
and i'd feel alone.
i'd rise and i'd recite my own seditious hymn.
my blasphemous tongue would split my lip and sing:
"love the cause of the distressed, of they that are turned away,
and accept no substitution held until the end",
but, as always, i'd appreciate the sunshine.
the better to see the absence of the light.
how i feel undone.
i've crawled my path along the sanctified debris.
i write goodbye in the sand for the ocean to see,
and now you will hear me.
the ignorant laid to waste fucking worms and doorsils washed.
i am of the dream which has the truth,
and the decay of nothing i bear witness to.
this is the secret:
i am here, and the rest is nothing.
