The Preacher's Wife
Go ahead
Preach on
about
how
it hurts
Use
the good book
of
your mouth;
go south
spit dirt
to teach us - church
Looking
now
As though somehow
with puffed out chest
you - pounding proud
then standing first
keep slinging earth
with well-dressed lips
covered in smirks
To light your lies
for those who buy
Whom
you would tell
to make me wrong
Direct, so well
the crowds - I've seen you work
Word?
My patience fails
I tuck my tail
in shriveled silence
shit - combines it
Correspondence
brings despondence
love has slipped to
jaundice
make it worse - jump on it
This page wears ink
like vomit
Well then
All I can say is
Fuck
you
'One-ing' myself
within
sentence
Subtle terrorizing
with
your intentions
The road to hell
loose pavement
plied
I tried;
through crass convincings
Your
claim of "youth"
as truth
has bent
becomes
your proof - defensive
Not only preside
with a twinkle in your eye
You're also
a full-fledged member
Believing that bullshit
Remember
