Resurrection - Sixth Communion
The ceremony
cradles my head in trance
I brush
dust from my teeth
Fleeing
hands and spiders plead for salvation
And wash
the clawed feet of a priest
Ritual
mockery rectified doubt
I'm holding
with arms open wide
Sleeping
endless sleep on a bed of nails
Wake me
up with your kiss
I'm waiting
for confirmation
I'm waiting
for confrontation
I’m waiting
for contemplation
Waiting
for a place to lay my body down
The proud
encasings of another soul buried deep 'neath the shroud
Flourished
with the venom of the serpent's son
I close
my eyes, retreat
The prayer
hand lays down on the edge of my sleep
Sister
death in leper's guise
Through
crimson eyes of the holy one
Everyone
will learn to see
I'm waiting
for confrontation
I'm waiting
for contemplation
I’m waiting
for confirmation
Waiting
for a place to lay my body down
Invitations
are invocations to the bloody red sheets
The circle
is broken by the silence
A sacrifice
of one
I'm waiting
for confirmation
I'm waiting
for confrontation
I’m waiting
for contemplation
Waiting
for a place to lay my body down
