Colors

In the wooden silence

genuflecting fornicators
seek penance and
false-toothed idealists
throw grubsteaks on the offering plate
light a candle for the sinners
light a fire
Self-pronounced prophet, parable speaking protestant
preaches his diatonic dogma
disemboweling indiscreetly
supplicate
congregate
the world looks better without the colors
light a candle for the sinners
light a fire
set the world on fire
falsities
falsities
falsified factualities
all sitting like real eager sponges
soaking up the territory realities of life.
