the helix of blind compassion




you and i
and the goddamn truth/
the wall of shame/
the sea of static


not fucking but begging


scratching


a cold room in a burned house
thirty years after your father dies


someone's wife tied to the bed/
says it hurts then asks for more


and this is the fantasy
but the baby is awake


is crying until the mother cuts
its arms off
and what i leave out of this picture
is the voice of god because
every priest sounds the same
talking through a mouthful of shit


every hand is a fist
searching for someone weaker


look at your children
and understand
