Lust In Holy Works

Vows taken to stopper lust yet truth will out

Oils of scenes from Eden, Eve chest-laden beneath boughs drooping

How the holy confess themselves unknowing

Robes hide screwtail and hood snout 

Sweat the sheen the micahed flesh the bruise the rules the appleround

In oil or marble, teased with chisel

Mouth wearing archaic smile, sheerly vital

Cornice snout, shadows those arcuate lips

One lonely dimple further furnishes delight

What image stone holds only high God knows

Mole-eyed sculptors work an idol free, nose 

Eyes, lips, ears. 


Intended Adam statue shocks patrons

Hooded masterpiece came out lurid 

A callipygian catamite splayed like a dirty bisected orange

Anal striations clear as column flutes unto a falling place

Fallen place walled garden image of Eden 

Modesty a front-worn palm frond

Sticking out, one ball

Above all others: golden the sun, sky’s glorious crown! 

Exiled, swan-winged sentries swipe fire swords along the wall.
