Bound To Wildness
Con/Jur/d, 8/8/2023
On that side
the threat of hellfire
11 and the J word
soap water
Sure, you get the runs after
They seemed sexless
2 boys birthed
despite appearances
Never liked the middle name
he died at 12
wanted nothing to do with
walled worship
fearful wind possessed
peoples, huddled flocks
obstructed by steeples
dad never talked about his brother
although, he mentioned cards
were forbidden
know 52 ways to do divination
after ee, always wrote a lowercase d
damnation has always seemed
the least of the worries
when talking of the future
hard not to talk in the Voice
gripping the pulpit
scrubbing away
it could be better
The Wilderness
isn’t the exception
it is
the lone
Voice
even now we can
hear it.
Much love,
Con/Jur/d, 8/8/2023
