jezebel

rattle the chains
and watch me blink
trust unto the jezebel
vinegar drink
a sour taste
and a somewhat sour face
jesus and the jezebel
sprint to set the pace
the prophet speaks
to spin the spell
the sleeper screams
from the spirit sell
now jesus and the jezebel
dripping drunk 
jumped into the wishing well
for enough to buy a meal
somewhere near the bottom
they made a deal
so then she taught him
about the baser animal
the meaning of the ritual
the value of the skin
and the temple
he was about to enter in
the holiest of holies
the well spring of creation soaks
but warmly.
such exqusite elements
leave a loss of eloquence
still the hands of time
and revel in the experience
sweat and perfect agony
tied unto the whipping post
like kane
calling out to able's ghost
sway to a song
of sweetest sin
she led him to the wishing well
and then he jumped right in
headlong into the river
the flood, the life giver
