i ate the holy parts
sacrament tastes better
out of turn
grinding my body of christ
against her pelvis
against the pestle
against this blade
lines off mirrors
lines on skin
the mourning star cried
just wanting a father
now i cook pieces of god’s body
to find out the flavored nuance
of pairing degradation as salvation
i as a cook
am as clever
as i am
as a gardener
eating apples in a salt marsh
barefoot with my snakes
