BANKNOTE

Kisses for cash
In excommunicated pulses
A Judas on demand
John the Baptist on a plate

Every note a hope
That chokes the beholder
A weeping Jack
In the castle of an emperor

No hold is safe
No safe can hold


A promise frozen
That beguiles the bearer
A golden clip gripped
By a grubby thumb printer  

Wet with the sweat
Of a hanging sweetness
This lingering noose
Is a fruit passed its season

That put the shit
In cash it
Written by whale
