Liquid Jesus

Liquid Jesus coercing through my veins
There are so many windows into my shame

I stand cold naked
beside my grave

They are filling my bathtub
with iodine
I climb in
with a little death
behind my eyes

It’s almost time

Nuclear winter will soon be here
then the insects under my arm
will all disappear

I find myself
going nowhere

I feel so weak
I look so frail

Tomorrow is just a promise
that will never arrive
And life itself,
has been nothing
but one cruel lie
