curtains
the curtain torn
is the light exposed..
as centurions all
we carry dark curtains
concealing our light..
exposure might come
with shock and awe
or right now
in a quiet pause...
(ref: Matthew 27)
Hair today, gone tomorrow, it's starting to thin really fast
Thought I'd be one of those centurions with locks down past my ass
Think again, old fellow
You're starting to turn yellow
Don't want to pass on till my youthful appearance does pass

Optio's! Centurions! Lend me your ears
But finish your rations and down your beers
For tommorow awaits the adventure of a life time
We battle our enemies for many bloody crimes
So tonight go home and bed your wives
Because some of you will lose your lives
Fill your bellies and admire your friends
For they will follow you to all your ends
Be it good or then bad…
defined after the fact
Acceptance—rejection,
a dog or a cat
The goals of Centurions,
or those of a Priest
Different agendas,
a moveable feast
Be it virtue or vice,
their adherents will claim
Then shout from the rafters,
to freely rename
But in for a penny,
or out for a pound
A lasting consensus
—will never be found
(St. David’s Pennsylvania: October, 2020)
