Spiritual ************

Pernicious mind, stop eating me!

Incessant head, oh, can’t you sleep?

 

I’ve moved beyond mental

Have approached the eternal

But god’s still a mystery

at times I’m a husk

 

Shrinking back at times

from light of open mind

Find a spot to fester

if I’m feeling like a sore

 

Swaying mendicant head

of sweating adolescence

Jacking off verbosity

Shut me up, Oh Lord!

 

Now all given way to

spiritual ************

********* a smile if

I’m too tapped out for joy.

 

****** slips away,

I’m naked in God’s hand—

Surrendered to the will of

some other spirit’s blood.
