The Sacred Revenge

Infamous in death.
You stop fighting-
with me. I will ask the dynasty,
Where was your enemy ?

It was within you, he 
said. Crawling in the dark- 
poems. Will you invite 
the monk for the atonement ?

Spiritual ? Between the 
sentences, you fall asleep.
Green-crockery turn to a 
naked statue, for comfort.

The black lips start 
kissing the red hooks.
