Jesus Plastique

Does the Holy Ghost
exist
in the walls 
of blinking light chapels?
Or in some type
of bobbing
side-to-side
dashboard symbolism?

Untitled

Crossroads 
dissect my life.
My thoughts 
implode...
wrong 
or right?

A tear,
above,
falls here
for love.
Mine eyes
bleed bitter blood.

A dream/
a hope
await 
their burial.
Painting portraits
of me 
perching
headlong
on my grave's edge.

All God

I plant foot 
on god's soil,
my soil,
your soil,
our soil,
hence,
gods' soil.

Sanctuary

A window opened/
a door closed.
A truth hiding,
cowering,
unexposed.

Occasionally
a walk,
breathing  truth
out the window
into the world
outside.
Only a little though.

When most talk
 no sooth is said,
but they don't know
the power
they denied
isn't able
to grow
because they
can't handle it.

Untitled

The moon hangs over the earth,
a dull glow.
The cigarette butt
of god.

It is cold here.

Life is a shallow embrace.
A hug...
from a used car dealer.

Humans no longer exist,
too cold.

We are now machines.
Serial numbers
on the burned out screen of existence.

Jesus is a rock star.

Love is gone...
replaced by chocolates
on Valentine's day.
$3.99,
Can I get in your pants?

Tomorrow and today
are twisted together.

Heaven and hell
occupy earth as one.

A yin yang is formed
half moon/
half sun.

We crucify knowledge
and learn from TV.

Everything is a drama.

Everyone is insane.

Suffer though,
I must....
through this twisted game!
