To Cast a First Stone

envenom! **** and enslave.
   tether to your flesh, me. 
   abandon, scourge and punish:
   wreak debauchery and hell
   on my palpitating flesh of marble. 

         yet – still i stand. 
 
   bring rain, bring doubt, bring stress.

   sow the seed of Discordia
   within, afront, behind and without me. 

   put me under scaphism,
   truly am I deserving of that,
   for strong were the poisons and evils 
   of my sacred terrorism…

   immure me then for ages, 
   defenestrate my tattered being
   and guide my spirit then see it 
   from outside of myself,
   how the body soon is lapidated
   and left then for food to the dogs 
   and to the sewer-children.  

         but i stand.

   make a changeling and call it by my name,
   make an endling out of me?
   and smear then my lineage!
        it will matter not at all;

        still i stand.

        open up your large 
        and menacing 
        black ****ing hole,
        do what you need to do to me. 

      you will still lose,
      you will lose regardless,
      and you will lose either way. 

     chaos woman!  

  you cannot win this game,
  for this game is rigged 
        with truth.

        you will die from the very rock
        you of all people
        eventually became
        very first to cast.
