thank God
for the small miracle
of intentional sin

for you
though you never were Saint Peter
for you,
i had copies made
of the keys to the kingdom
for you,
i had copies made
of the keys to the kingdom

innocence
your maiden name,
they say
as if perhaps
you once possessed innocence

always Dylan
He says,
don't cry child
there's faith for that
and if that don't work
there's always Dylan
don't cry child
there's faith for that
and if that don't work
there's always Dylan
intent unspoken
veiled in context of their stark hotel
room
as she undoes her belt
he his buttons
he a poor and broken god
coming to her
in the shedding of clothes
the wary looks
quiet gestures
intent unspoken
this is my broken body,
for you
take this
for the forgiveness
of whose sins?

untitled
the girl who sees the rain
sees your death in the steam
sees the turning of the wheel
the clear note of a bell
the steam
not having risen yet
tells the story
while the wheel turns
putting you on the bottom
the bell
final
tea's ready
the heat can burn
her tongue
the pain away
sees your death in the steam
sees the turning of the wheel
the clear note of a bell
the steam
not having risen yet
tells the story
while the wheel turns
putting you on the bottom
the bell
final
tea's ready
the heat can burn
her tongue
the pain away
