THE IDOLS OF THE LORD

Be sweet to me

I sing to you

Be severe

I give you laws

Clap your hands

I let you dance

This is an idol of the lord

Birds are singing

Day beginning

People breathing frankincense

Bring me

pen and paper now

I have to write

His Name again

This is an idol of the lord

What holy is

I do not know

or what you want

with me below

Your Name disgraced

by what you make

Your Name despised

by such as us

All is holy

All is foul

This is an idol of the lord

Woman in

an open dress

Press her nipples

on my wax

Make her ask

me for release

When I’m before you

on my knees

The ova ships

the semen hoards

by arms embraced

by vows ignored

This is an idol of the lord

Sponsoring boredom

Spiriting cock

Mounting panic

Moistening cunt

Looking at you

with small birds’ eyes

Slipping panties

over your face

I am your back

I am your front

Body is holy

Mind is a toy

On seas of thought

or matter’s shore

Divide my world

from skin to core

or make it one

as it was before

Overthrow me

one more time

This decision

this decision

is an idol of the lord
