pink stucco wat, border of pyracantha
climbing red berries, beacon to the
community, recipient
of odes anthems oaths palm branches
the dead pregnant newly dying
just born ery kinda party from
juice in tiny cups to indoor
crepe paper rainbow showers or
praying hands on purple velvet
hands of a man in marbled plastic
praying
ceremonial angel hair of
spun glass which will cut
to a hidden sunken tub
closet with rain ponchos
a tub a place to almost drown
three times three dunks to glory
a place where drunks get horny
when they come to a realization
there is a community a recipient
of love wealth hope remorse
her hair stays afloat on the water
then with it plastered to her shoulders
she stands looks out at the worshipers
all of us married the same guy
all of us also are that guy
fingers on a guy's praying hands
diamonds in the crown of a
poor man humble god-man god
pink stucco wat, a nipple
poor men sucking on poor men's
god, within a steeple
