Good afternoon, everyone. You’ll do some reading. Not too much though! Wouldn’t ever want to do too much… Please enjoy the poem today, my friends. I did work ever so diligently to bring it to you. Without further ado:
Corinthians 11:14
Demons, demons
one and all.
Take your place,
take your face.
Look again
and meet the leper.
Again in the den
of one false shepherd.
Do you hear?
Those whispers that draw near?
Loud, loud, loud, loud…
Are those eyes inside that cloud?
They haunt and stalk;
destroy your mirror
and your screens.
That’s how they sit
inside your jeans.
Don’t let them in,
don’t let them out.
They’ll scream and shout.
Don’t let them out.
A sweet boy
now just a ploy.
They’ll take your place
and take your face.
