Iniquitous priests and cannibals
Absolve
Then feed
Upon childhood dreams

I cannot breathe
Any longer
In this unfiltered
Parsimonious pond

Must
Push back what entangles

Must
Pull away from a myriad of angry souls

Must
Lift this ill-harboring mind free

Agony
He is my constant friend

And
He reminds me
I'm (somewhat) alive

And
That one shiny day
Along the suspicious river Difficult
I will finally slay him
BLT's continued challenge - to write a poem using the Merriam-Webster word of the day, parsimonious.
