where is your shore, embanked
upon escarpment, stand absolved
wrapped nine broken toes, embark
horseshoe cold, gripped
tidal falls call us what?
call us home to One who
can make everything
void (to start again)
pulverizing, ponderous, predication
go find others to contest
your venom grows tepid, little viper
wanton weariness, enamored
by shining doublet of insecurity
porous pride.
Deliver us, O Lord, from the whispers
of evil minds, for you have heard
sounds of our weeping
we kneel, supplicant
God will answer.
none before another
linking hands to become
Stronghold, embargo
Iroquois iris, smack
swallow, hallowed
bow down before mourning, lest
judging bookworms force
indentation
gales of force will forcefully
foment infanticide
emperor of forensic credence
cadence, succor us that prostrate
sycophant, supplant, pour
mercury in arrow
let fly our grievance
O First Borne
for none dare question
Ignorance
hang us loose dolls
in angry noose
slander us with neglect
label me vertigo, indigo
summary of your indoctrination
platinum tassels, lovely trinkets
pomp, romp, glorify misgivings
bereft of snakes, rats fester
bringing quick plagues that deafen
titanic tones, betrothed to upheaval
all relative when in a roll
cage, better odds make
for more precise bereavement
let’s all have a go
at the others, falling
towards a failing, kindly
a dagger of abattoir, persistent
under fingernails, sin
finds us forever
pants down around
ankles
smiling for your service
I can crucify misbegotten
happenstance, here
our adolescent chatter
commitment, fellowship
fellows in a sinking ship
deserted deserts bury
small insects burrow deep
winds carry virulent, Shalom
indolent, peace be with you also
brother
in pieces petty, larceny
watch your step or
stumble, watching an other’s heels
heal me narcissistic
praise pugilist pedantic
discover paradigm of felicity
a god will smile, missing teeth
all the while.
it breaks that way sometimes.
