The Feast is for the Thin

by @joshua-s-bailey

There's a lady in the morning fog who feeds on porcelain thoughts, And she haunts the edges March. There are no five point dancers With their evening red and gold. Ready and willing to tumble and fall. Just her, alone; In the bog listening to us all. The beasts only swim, crawl, and fly By the Sycamore, rotten and petrified. In Death there is life And all ears are amplified.      "Testify." **"Are you the soul that brings fear? The Specter of my own Heresy? Get off the wind and answer me. Will you light the wild and chant the Lord's Prayer?"**          *"Through all my inequities I'll never       know sin like you.       Whip the poor and condemn the youth.       Blame the whores!!!       Clergymen tend to always do.* "We are justified! **To do what we do Is the work of the lord! Truth will always bend To the ambassadors' works."** The feast is for the thin, chalked with divine And those on shore: honest and rectified. Breath is man's plight, And all eyes lie. There's a man waiting at the edge of dawn Who purges a man of his own thoughts He owns his defiled marsh. There are no five point answers Without their threaded holes Steadily fulfilling to us all. Just him, enthroned; on a rock Judging us as we fall.
