JOSHUA
Rattle
cup, spill the bones.
Ribs read--digits deciphered.
Ossified missives in the living’s leftovers.
Ossified missives in the living’s leftovers.
Who’s to
blame for temptation tasted?
Web of wasted want, plaiting
words in
dusty primers, dark closets,
lost battles.
Joshua,
don’t damn the demand--what was taken
touches
superstition, speaks to suspicion, trembles stones
thrown for
the cleromants.
The
righteous practice idolatry behind clever curtains.
Nevermind
the others; gods choose those
who
choose themselves.
