  • I am no feeble Christ,
    Not me
    He hangs in glib delight upon his cross,
    Upon his cross,
    Above my body,
    Lowly me
    Christ forgive,
    Forgive?
    Holy He,
    He holy,
    He holy?
    Shit He forgives,
    Forgive?
    Forgive?
    I?
    I?
    Me?
    I?
    I vomit for you Jesu
    Christy Christus
    Puke upon your papal throne
    Wrapped I am in the muddy cloud
    Of hellish genocide
    Petulant child
    I have suffered for you
    Where you have never known me
    I too must die
    Will you be shadowed in the arrogance of my death?
    Your valley truth
    What light pass those pious heights?
    What passing bells for these in their trucks?
    For you lord.
    You are the flag-bearer of these nations
    One against the other that die in the mud
    No piety.
    No deity
    Is that your forgiveness?
    Saint.
    Martyr.
    Goat.
    Billy.
    Forgive?
    Shit he forgives
    He hangs upon his cross
    In self-righteous judgment
    Hangs in crucified delight
    Nailed to the extend of His vision
    His cross.
    His manhood.
    His violence.
    Guilt.
    Sin.
    He would nail my body upon his cross
    As if I might have waited for him in the garden
    As if I might have perfumed His body
    Washed those bloody feet
    This woman that he seeks
    Suicide visionary.
    Death reveller.
    Rake.
    Rapist.
    Gravedigger.
    Earthmover.
    Lifefucker.
    Jesu.
    You scooped the pits of Auschwitz
    The soil of Treblinka is rich in your guilt
    The sorrow of your tradition
    Your stupid humility is the crown of thorn we all must wear.
    For you.
    Ha.
    Master.
    Master of gore.
    Enigma.
    Stigma.
    Stigmata.
    Errata.
    Eraser.
    The cross is the mast of our oppression.
    You fly there,
    Vain flag.
    You carry it,
    Wear it on your back,
    Lord.
    Your back.
    Enola is your gaiety.
    Suffer little children (to come unto me)
    Suffer in that horror.
    Hirohorror.
    Hirrohiro.
    Hiroshimmer.
    Shimmerhiro.
    Hiroshima.
    Hiroshima.
    Hiroshima.
    Hiroshima.
    The bodies are your delight
    The incandescent flame is the spirit of it
    They come to you Jesu.
    To you
    The nails are the only trinity
    Hold them in your corpsey gracelessness
    The image that I have had to suffer
    These nails at my temple
    The cross is the virgin body of womanhood
    That you defile
    In your guilt you turn your back
    Nailed to that body
    Lame-arse Jesus calls me sister
    There are no words for my contempt
    Every woman is a cross in filthy theology
    He turns His back on me in His fear
    His vain delight is that pain I bear
    Alone He hangs.
    His choice.
    His choice
    Alone.
    Alone.
    His voice.
    His voice
    He shares nothing,
    This Christ
    Sterile.
    Impotent.
    Fucklove prophet of death
    He's the ultimate pornography
    He.
    He.
    Hear us Jesus
    You sigh alone in your cockfear
    You lie alone in your cuntfear.
    You cry alone in your womanfear.
    You die alone in you manfear.
    Alone Jesu,
    Alone
    In your cockfear.
    Cuntfear.
    Womanfear.
    Manfear.
    Alone in your fear.
    Alone in your fear.
    Alone in your fear.
    Your fear.
    Your fear.
    Your fear.
    Your fear.
    Your fear.
    Your fear.
    Your fear.
    Warfare.
    Warfare.
    Warfare.
    Warfare.
    Warfare.
    Jesus died for his own sins.
    Not mine. Publisher: ROUGH TRADE PUBLISHING
