Pietism Fatale (+1)

Jello mold converts…

frozen believers

 

Trapped in plain sight,

their freedom to lose

 

Set in the form,

immobile and suspect

 

Hope locked in stillness

—unable to move

 

(Dreamsleep: July, 2021)

 

 

Truth In Default

 

All the young Jews,

all the young Christians,

all the young Muslims,

debt to confuse

 

Abraham crying,

prophesy fading,

hellish debentures

—Heaven to lose

 

(The New Room: July, 2021)
