Salve Festa Deus


Oh God,
your graven eyes like dust fall into
my open womb.
Your tongue opens me up like a softened scab.
I can feel you in me, you are my veins and
nerves.
I can feel you around me, you are a sea of
nothingness.
How is it that you have created that which
can not be proven?
How is it that you have forgotten what
I can not forget?
The question.
Why have you died like Elvis, with followers
that wear you carcass like a veil,
eat your body and call it bread,
drink your blood and call it wine.
How is it that you can't sing?


Damon Wyle
