ritual

sweet opium  and sweat infused air

sacred mysteries 

she scream’s

 Oh God! in me bed 

arms outstretched 

eyes roll back

guttural moans

carnal fructification

pleasure salvation

embracing

waves of small deaths

followed

resurrection’s

confirming 

she

is chosen

among women

rejected by father

seeking self and benediction

he

Crosses’

himself 

as I pass

Clearly 

I am

a

saint
