“For Having Offended Thee by Stewart Stafford
A rebirth in my other kingdom,
Deafening choruses of mute vampires,
Stowaway's arrival not of my choice,
Treading water on stranger's ground.
The crunching gravel of past sins,
Fine bone dust of wasted chances,
Weighed down at Purgatory's door,
The gatekeepers nod and admit me.
A hurricane swirl of screaming souls,
Housed within Infinity's planetarium,
Whispers, pleas, a drowning outcry,
Metaphysical smothering of bodily errs.

“we learn
the word's embedded anagrams so rush
to pare a god's indifferent nails and rape
the body offered in all innocence
and gnaw the unripe hanging pear of love
From "Reap”
