Nailed Truth

Opening the door to Pandora’s box where chaos descends
as the wickedness of the locusts descends upon this world 
giving birth unto passions that have no heavenly equity 

Craftily-constructed plausibility draws away the inexperienced mind
held captive within the wounds of prejudice that are licked by a splintered tongue 
while our Lord patiently awaits with outstretched loving arms pierced deeply

Vain genealogies born of arrogance in an allure to the simple minded 
unable to distinguish evil falsehoods from truth they stumble on nevertheless 
brass mixed with sliver shines falsely bright to the deceiver and deceived 

Error in judgement their blasphemous and impious opinions spread venomously
in an allure of reality where more true than then truth itself beckons mendaciously 
souls of Our Savior colourless in creation for the divinity of heaven is not of this earth

Almighty transparency transcends in all earthly traits eclipsing a complete deceit  
His Excellency most sublime radiant Gem gleams of eternity for all mankind
whom when asked gives the Precious gift of His Blood through Grace unconditionally

a co written piece by Donna Loughman and liam Mcdaid

Genealogies

new spiralling vines
old family tree
entwining branches

Reunion

Light leavens leaden doors.

Genealogies of genocide are lost
      in long night rides through thistled trees,
                        dark reunions of distant blood.

Kinships are recounted, mantras murmured
      of summer savory and sorrel flaxseed
            like scars on wrists, a sparrow grass of needles.

We are immutable, terra cotta with wild glints
            of sea-flecked eyes--
                  a mask of freedom, a final submission.

Origami moths mime legends in tallow lights,
      stigmata their small dyings with rites of regeneration:
                  bleeding dim faiths, sealing silent sins
                                     with the infection of sky.

We become insane shadows, cloistered cousins
      of a dark, moist marrow
            mythological as opaque men in pale pearled sheets,
                  chiaroscuro faces written in a white rage of worms.
