Idol

Romantic arson,

a thousand lovers burning

to the blooming flowers

of my accelerant:

amoral, senseless rage.

 

Because I do not

or will not consider

another vice

for your confessional.

 

Come shed indifference.

Thumb the holy water font.

Theorize inconclusive evidence

of life apart from love.

 

Crawl into

the vacant church

which is my heart.

Idolize Me.
