Featured God

religions come
and go
women come and go
empires and dogs
golden masks
regrets spoken to icons
lunatics
murders
thieves
other things worthless come and go for while I am away
waiting to be reborn with the first ray of the new Sun

signs for words
words for signs
shadow of the past smells like each funeral ahead
all is delayed sacrifice
why wake up to heavy thoughts
from before there was any fire

the bitter taste of circles
the frustration of asking for forgiveness
our featured God is dead
bring your own divinity from lowlands
war in Heaven falls on Earth
lofty fortress collapsed
wells of life buried with ash
blood-stained hands
bound by the irreversibility

you
walk the walk
Victorious
Glorious
mortified angels waiting in the wings to cede the power
