SPLATTER CHAPEL
The museum of members
& patchwork pricked needles -
The church of my childhood -
Beneath phallic steeples -
I was the one that he terrified.
I was the one who he fucked as I cried.
I was the one who took that communion.
I was the one who savored that union.
I was the one who was never suspected.
I was the one abused by affection.
I was the one who kissed his bruised flesh.
Jesus Christ.
The damned have been blessed.
