Resurrection Wounds

Public Domain Image

            Twisting the ground,

walk upon the word –

crusted intervals, functioning

page breaks

            Born again, breached

idol, resurrecting wounds,

dress rehearsal parasites –

mincing meaning

            Bearing witness and cross,

Calvary, transfixing vantage

from sanctimonious high,

degraded order

            Infestation lies, scurrying

across blurred lines, bloated

pollution rhythm, worshiping

in gray markets
