My virtue dissolves in the mirror
I see now no ocean could swell
To contain my incredulous pride
Yet I contrive ends by all means
As if God Himself couldn’t do better
he comes back
to the bloody scene
of his crime
to wipe off
his fingerprints
only to
leave behind
more
evidence.

Eyeing its prey from its perch above
it swoops in on its target
inserting its poison and darting away
its imperiled victim blissfully unaware
Innocent, unsuspecting, incredulous
that one creature would attack another
on this lovely exoplanet, AS796324xe
as it/we hurtle irrevocably
~ into the nether regions of nothingness
Oh incredulous one;
dilapidated are the wits
that polished the tongue with opinions
harvested by its compulsions,
held within impetuous views, and twisted truths...
Such a mind
never construes itself as an empty pit
by means of rejection...
mine is a crisis of Christ or crucifixion
holines or hell
religion or retribution
a martyr or barter for a beast
benevolence or blood
st. luke or sins to rebuke
st. paul or a fall from grace
st. john or his head to be gone
joy or a judas kiss
bliss or to be remiss
bow or cow-tow to torment now
silk and satin or Satan
a dove or the loss of god's love
justice or un-justification
following a righteous faction or friction
christ or crucifixion
i am someone less fact than fiction
a man who abandons Christ in favor of crucifixion

Oh, Incredulous One;
Dilapidated are the wits
that polished the tongue with opinions,
harvested by its compulsions,
held within impetuous views,
and twisted truths…
Such a mind
never construes itself as an empty pit
By means of rejection…
