Speaking in the Throat of Another God
  We go forth.
  In the power of words that will be written in stone
  With a chisel, slightly cracked
  By a hand that slightly shakes a little
  Too much to the left.
  Because the meaning behind them is
  Ludicrous, drowning in itself by the
  Hands and the feet of the great.
  And under a breathless canopy we,
  Scripture’s of false scriptures
  live
  Tattooing the bones of marrow that will
  Falter.
  Falter in the fatherless and motherless words
  Of bones we could not love.
  The marrow conceived
  For the marrow of another
  In the curves we renounced, obscuring the edges
  We could not proclaim but requested.
  Sucking away the calcium in the milk we feed
  Our children.
  Our bosoms no longer bosoms but the
  Patch of light we left,
  Dying on the floor of an apartment
  That we will walk out of,
  That we will abandon
  In order to define identity parallel to ourselves.
  Searching for the identification of others.
  And in the words that were meant to totter we
  Will use them to build the new walls of a privately free
  Structure.
  But in the stars we will create our own
  Out of love for one another.
  Dancing in the cracked jaws of
  Confused boys to the mind of stubborn headed
  Girls, all in all, we point our toes in a pool of
  Faults for a forever flawless existence.
  
  In the hands of a man we lead to trust,
  As we walk out, with his
  Shaky hand and slightly cracked chisel
  He will wave us left.
  Going in the right direction is only a blur
  Of the sunlight we have already left in the open to
  Darken.
  To be chiseled away and
  Bloom in the throat of
  Another
  God.
