Testify

Of course I have worshipped
At the shrine of the holy dick –
Love was spelled about and into me

Like a craven curse attendant from birth
I fell and fell and fell in Love,
Wetted, alive in the spillage,

Bringing forth many children.
I sacrificed tongue for tongue
In the sacred secret places.

A common godly experience
I studied like a catechism –
Sister to sigh, slave to touch

Illuminated, small, in angelic spotlights,
Turned in perpetual curled embryo
Transcended by a man’s magnificence.

One can attempt to prepare for baptism by
The Absolute Church of Desire;
One can read of tears and fear and be unready

For the exuberant wetness of that fire.
Spent, heartbroken, just in from hell,
My heaven-fed tongue struggles to tell, to tell.
