lamb

there over the hill!

straining my eyes blind until 

a soft tumbleweed sweeps closer 

roaming over rolling plains

coming closer with knobby knees 

wobbling sheepishly under its collapsing coat of cotton

beckoning my sensitivity 

oh lamb of god,

i will cherish your sacrifice!

divinely divided from his herd

i meet you below my womb

where you nuzzle angelic fur into the nooks of hips

i fall to my knees

genuflect onto the grass beneath  

where i gullibly lay 

consumed by my self proclaimed 

prophesy as your shepard

i allow your outgrown hooves 

that now seem more like claws

press your full weight on my sternum 

while you pull your wool over my eyes 

in this warm dark silence of trust

my ears are painfully pierced

by your hollow howl 

i am devoured 

ripped apart limb by limb 

canine teeth piercing my flesh 

i was devoted to feed endless herbs 

hot blood drips back onto my face

metallic spit leaks from my lips

as i lift my neck to kiss you 

a selfish dying wish

i do not fight

paralyzed under a soft blanket of betrayal

woven from weakness 

consecrated into communion

consumed in tender transience 

my sacrifice in isolation 

won't be celebrated in scriptures
