THAT SARDONIC LAUGHTER

As rubber lips kiss the flowers of discontent

Tried to stay pure but got smudged from the outside

Tried to climb up but the will went

Oceans of eyes

Walls of grins

 

To kill the mockingbird took only one glance

Burning down love without giving it a chance

Cordoned off by walls of lament

The cleansing fire makes everything coherent

 

Please forgive me father for I am ready to sin

I place my lips on the edge of the translucent glass

Move it up slightly so the red spills over the brim

 

The body of Christ

The body of Christ

The Body of Christ
