B is for Absolvable

i declared the silver moon a wafer
put it in my mouth and said, "bless me father"
since you know the sin i live in is monumental
only this moon will make it absolvable.

 bless me father and take my confession
and bathe me with the rain to ease my condition
since you know the sin i live in is monumental
only this rain storm will make me absolvable.

 i lift volcanoes to my tongue
it's the only way i can speak peace to old and young
and since you know the sin i live in is monumental
only hot coals will make me absolvable.

 the highest trees could not prepare an incense
that would take away the stench or the incense
but since you know my sin is monumental
i will burn the tree for me to be absolvable.

 i built a room outside of creation
sitting in the void; the silence is my meditation
for since my attitude is high and irresponsible
only exile will make me absolvable.

 i would take the tears of all the world's haunted
baptise myself in all that pure liquid
since you know my sin is always with me
maybe their purity will absolve even me.

 i would strain my ears to hear, "it's okay."
to know a peace from love that knows the way
since you know my sin is deafening
only a still small voice, could bring a cleansing.

B in Future Traditions

THE COPY: I was sitting down listening to Norah Jones’ “Come Away with Me” and I began to think about future traditions. I thought… I want to sway with someone. Sway with my lover. To this music. More than that, I want that when we had an argument (and we’d have those because she’d be stubborn and I’d be pig headed (iChuckle)) we would never go to bed angry. We’d pop open a lover’s CD like this one and just sway. We may be as mad as hell but we would sway because we would never want to go to bed angry. And our children would know this. And they would never allow their partners to go to bed angry either because… well, because they would know better. They would sway. They would know it was better to sway. That’s the kind of man I want to be. Moreover, that’s the kind of tradition I’d like to pass on. Future Traditions. What's Yours?

B is for The Hand of Gordon (Act 5)

5. The driver egged him on. This was the third bad drive that Gordon received at the hand of the demon with the driver’s permit. But… neither the speed limit nor his attitude changed. The demon's finger went up again. Gordon smiled, again. He shook his head. The civility of his action denied a certain truth. Though Gordon considered himself long suffering, his hand held fast to a young blade should the speedster lose control of his car… and his mind. Yes, Gordon just smiled.
