Within those accosting shadows

Vows, fester
like gestating benedictions
charcoaled and anemic
        
chewing back these tethered curses
like that bloated padre pedestaled
at a flesh meshed pulpit

pass the transgressions
to the necrophiliac choir
and belt us
some Syriac forgiveness
    
still, i’ll touch you
where heaven dies
and your afterglow
grows as a post traumatic
purgatory,

now, walk amongst the gnarled smiles
my macchiato lamb
of yesterday’s innocence

first-class as a remora
selling popcorn remorse
in a seventh morns shriving pew

as he sleepwalks
between gravis lapides
along the mercury echo
oozing from my fifth dalae

the heaviness of his lábios
tastes like a strawberry funeral
and mummified orgasms

while he inhales hades
from my inception canal
as he comes to terms
with the slow burn

disenchanted,
  
with the feathered fury
of my cum
churning confessional
 
 ergo~
  
he entombed his status
in a kadupul terra firma bed
like the saturated cadaver
pendular as sentimental sediment
in a lucciola stream

backsliding through his
bible bicuspids
  
I’ll never forget
how loud that gulp is,

when you are swallowing the cancer
.........called leniency

hollowed as the ash
crumbling from a serpentine rood

targeting the double talked tangents
of ectoplasmic gorgons
as their beatnik pleasantries
garrote my trachea
with a bleeding skull rosary

indentured ripples
of attritional passion
leak from my scarred garden

as he towers, and bellows
do this in remembrance
              
of he,

yes, father
    
as i phase between
stillness
and goodbye
      
holding morrow’s scorn
within the bosom
of an earth-toned sparrow
      
while i smile,
        
for the weeping child
i left on his glistening tip

and attach my molested light
to his carnivorous shadow,

~all was never lost,
                    
until, your are found
as the whore,

deemed
satisfying

and as a madonna
of reverent irrelevance
through speakeasy
velveteen recognizance.
