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 is for SideBar

i was going to talk about morality today. as in "whose morality do you subscribe to?" it was going to be deep if i say so myself. however, instead i will speak about requisitioning wombs . yes that's right... wombs . i was having a conversation with a girl who [i admit] i still go gaga over [cue the "paparazzi" audio clip]. we were talking about how stupid humanity had become and whether there was a point to saving them. "saving" in the sense of helping-them-expand-their-mental-space-just-a-smidgen-more kind of saving. she believed this exercise was futile and proclaimed that instead of trying to save this "dead-out" (my term not hers) generation, she was going to have kids. a means of passing on valuable information about culture and forward thinking and such. i laughed of course but she had a real point. i too have felt that this current landscape is all... dead-out, but never really saw procreation as a means of rebooting the system if...

B is for Adam & Eventful

We walked away from humanity that day  In hopes of something grander  So I  Called her god  And she  Said the same  And often she called aloud my name.  Vain imaginings ran the course And the leaves of the food that took us higher  Now clothed us in remorse.  “Poor Adam”  “Poor Eve”  Poor knowledge sent away till our children woke up.  As us.  And gods were born to them.  Vain imaginings…  December 17, 2010  Adam & Eventful  Three Text Maximum  © tracy j h
