cats

life is a litter box

or maybe im just hissing in it
or maybe im just kitten in it

and no one can skin me

uxor

O, Virtue
Where has thou fled?
O, Fair Maiden, who has
Leapt from my lap,
Sprung from my hand,
In the place where thou art,
I plead to be!
O, Seamstress!
O Piecer! Mender of Heart!
Clothe me in new silhouette

boats

o charon
indifferent ferryman
have mercy on me
a penniless soul
outpriced by all fee
i have no coin
no staff
no cloak
but pleas
a Voice is heard
"please! o please!
move me from locusts and fleas
and spare me from misery!"
wood creaks
water rushes
echoes across the expanse
angel whales
angel wails
with tails and halos
refractive shimmering voices
two aquatic choirs

snails with shells
rung church bells
stone brick wells
pleasant smells

a dog who barks
a cat who purrs
a fluttering lark
a lonesome fir

Via a/d Deō

pellis et granum

cleanliness is next to Godliness
and
dirtiness is demonry

stained clothes stained skin stained teeth
stains are sorcery
get away from me
you foul beast
for cleanliness is Godliness
and you're soiled as any seed

farming is holy
harvest wrought with
implements of santification
i never had a green thumb
