HER SILENT WITNESS
I saw her standing there -
I heard confession...
I saw the priest -
I saw obsession...
I saw desire -
I saw the tears fall...
I was her witness -
I spoke not at all.
But I'll give her that
for which she most craves...
I'll call the saints
right out of their graves...
I'll call to heaven -
have them send halos...
Christ was a fag -
but I know she loves those.
Now I read her mind
as we sit at our table...
This is the moment
& I'm finally able
to say that the boy looks just like Sean Penn -
Doesn't he make you just want to pretend
he is a real priest -
let's make him bend -
let's make him beg for this night not to end.
Let's make those priests forget about god -
come now our father -
spare not your rod...
Let's pull those rosary beads from his ass -
he screams his Hail Mary's -
he creams & he gasps -
he takes the lords name in vain
& then says:
"What are your names? How did you guess?
I've never told God - I've never confessed!
How did you come to be here these dark days?"
We smile & reply: "In mysterious ways."
He calls us angels
& worships you now...
As I step away -
kept my sacred vow...
Gave her these moments -
if only in words...
Even if only in dreams
they occurred...
For Mollie deserves
to have such a lay...
No matter what those
10 commandments may say.
