And On Her Knees She Promised God

The fire and the sweat
of the revenues,
the bombers above
shade the stay.
It's only a phase
that she's going through.
It's only a trust
to betray.

And on her knees she promised God.
"AND I ACCEPT YOUR PROMISE."

Explosions of sex
extra marital.
The screaming of joy
on the stair.
A shockwave of breath
from a radius,
and down like a doll
through the air...

And on her knees she promised God.
"If you would save his life tonight, my lord,
then I will turn away for good."
"AND I ACCEPT YOUR PROMISE."

And time like a mouth
devoured them.
A meeting by chance
broke the spell.
The kiss of a God
is cancerous.
He kissed with a push
into hell.

For on her knees she promised God.
"I CLAIM UPON YOUR PROMISE."
