Respite
These signs shall
follow them that
(be)li[e]ve
Lips lock,
sweaty chests
join together in
firey heat
Pelvic thrusts
Saunter
As the beat
calls, thrives and
possesses
children of a lesser god--
poor banished children of Eve:
sons of Essex, and
daughters of Audre
into the ark
united at the altar
Where
(rain)bows unite
earth and sky
anoint.
Heal.
Cleanse.
Balaam welcomes
The “speaking” of this ass.
This ass CLAPS
rhythms of tantric
liberation
Yes.
THESE signs
Fondle serpents
With hand, and cheeks fill with
dangling modifiers tickled by
uncloven lascivious tongues
while
Daemons flee!
Drive him away, Lord!
Drive ole Satan away!
Draw me nearer.
