Psalm 14

I've always been determined
to find a bit of God in everything
which is why I revel
in the cloying sweetness
of sulfur of your breath
and fell in love with the aftertaste
of fire and brimstone on your lips
because you linger in the back
of my subconscious
like Catholic guilt

and it has been too long
since I waltzed down
the road to perdition
encased within
the jugular vein
I tried to chew through
to get to redemption
