Blood Sacrifice

I kill for its god’s will
he shares his prayer
as he presses his knife
against her throat

for thou shall not suffer
a witch to live
he says
gritting his teeth

he whispers
I shall kill thee
thus thou shalt not raise
a false report

thine hand shall not
with the wicked
be an unrighteous witness
therefore, death for thee

I offer thee
Succour
from sinning
No more shall thou transgress

Death I pay upon thee
not for mine own
but for the salvation
of thy soul

this chalice I offer thee
not for thy lips
but for thy throat
unto the gods of darkness...

Inclinate vos
ad benedictionem.
