dame d’vert in a cup
the cleaning of a president’s bathroom
johnny mop and viruscide
99.9
hiv crablice salmonella
clean the johns like teeth
murphy’s oil pants
burn the midnight
(floor) glow
saints, scary Marys,
and bloody Jesi (pl)
yellowing butterfat cherubs
breathe fresh under the tarnish
20’s wood
and nuns
monsignor wears designer fragrance
chapel brown
tit ceiling
the old oak bend’d toward the nipple
baby superman
spiky starray design
holy holy holy
crap
fishwine (after, pizzawine. msb)
confession wire
black profiles
stoicism in robes
Myrrrrrrrrrhlin wizardry
(from Wales, y’know?)
criss cross, brains balls…
holy Christ rib cake
bloodwine
ashbrowed
fat Tuesday
Wednesday’s child
