after Allen Ginsberg
A psalm, a hymn, and a prayer. A
palm holding a candle. Confess. Reap.
Stained glass rings like sanctuary
bells. Fire crucifies us all. Witch. You
sow what you reap. Write this holy
litany like sacrament. Covenant. We are
culprits at pulpit. Confess. Drink from
the chalice. Seedy grapes, like rosary
beads. They root in your lungs. Does this
make you a place of worship? This is a
worship poem. Repent. Kneel. A psalm, a
hymn, and a prayer. Fire baptizes us all.
