apadravya worship [xiv] ~ //wild rosé [viiii]//

{&} she sat astride the scarlet beast, her tongue pierc'd with profane prayer, a mouthful ov blasphemy to praise ten crowns  
 
{revelation 17:3  
the gospel according to yiyi}  
 
 
prostrate  
before the cathedra  
ov slender bones;  
pale corpse  
{a benediction}  
in the slide ov  
stigmata'd p(s)alms  
over  
the codex ov your ribs ~  
... peaceful paranoia  
glances  
the pages ov spine,  
the holy book ov s(k)in  
peel'd & consum'd as  
wafer-thin slivers  
ov absolution...  
{a rorschach on my chin}  
venial sins  
live in unsanctifi'd flesh _  
invok'd by sable smoke  
part'd in heresy ...  
... the spread ov clay  
across the altar  
{an unction}  
sweet salt  
baptiz'd by spit;  
in filth noir clutches  
the shudder ov  
an unpaint'd shrine  
shattering
