Premium Member At the Risk of Sounding Crazy, There Are Deities at the Roller Rink

They knelt behind a photo booth humming
hymnals to a tooth-
decayed brand of gen X truth—
old gods' wants reclaim the youth.

HYMNS

Hallelujahs aloud
Hail our redeemer King
Honour His Majesty
Hear our heavenly praise-
Holy hymnody so
Heartfelt in musical
Hymnals of true worship
Form: Pleiades

Premium Member An Urge

Hallucinogenic hymnals;
I hear you, you mirror angels 
as you sit shadowed by candles;
Lost to scandals, lost to scandals;

An urge to sin makes me whimper;
With a vile of Holy Water 
you touch me with a soft whisper,
‘I will love her, I will love her.’

Premium Member I'D Rather Pick Flowers

If I weren't afraid, I'd pluck some dainty flowers
Be unashamed of mostly women at showers,
Stand with you dressed in choir robes and singing hymnals,
Be sweet like a kitty not roar like animals
Hold infant with both hands, and not catch a fly ball,
Be very nice and kind with my mother-in-law,
Chewing gum and smiling, not crunching jawbreakers,
Great in mid-life with no crisis, and no takers.

A Commendation of September Light

Hymnals of light in the autumnal woods
shafts of sunlight
printing prayers on every shadowed trunk.
Only September has this light,
October will come with a witches broom,
a stiff switch to scour and scythe,
that light will be a death song
one sung by ancient and native winds.
For now, maybe just for this day,
the woodland acres glow
they seem to tremble slightly
as a gentile sunlight
ushers in last rites and blessings.
