Untitled

In a night of synaptic silence:


I eat out of the palm of your hand,

cupped round like a globe

to my curved lips,

silent as the bells

of abandoned churches,


where only the monk

runs his fingers along rusty ridges,

refusing to look at the stars.


He fondles his Bible

like an erect phallus,

as your fingers crawl

up my thighs.


Like the sound-waves

of his whispered prayers,

our bodies' hymns will fade

into a dusty dawn.
