Random

these hands that boiled water
molded their faces from my dreams
how tempting were those seraphim
iridescent shadowy wings

i heard an old door laugh
as the chapel bells rang
it said, "careful,
hypocrites beware!"

my heart felt thanks
to the hatred of my adversary
wondering happily
how can that be

i wished to goodness
i were a fish
envy the simplicity
of a guppy

and yet i mourn the least
chartered waters
outside the aquariums'
florescent lightning
