feel that power | Poem

 

feel that power

 

approximate apostles

diesel powered

steel shanked and

l o n g g g booted

round that bend

and off the track

I'll change my habits

if you change your skin

change your order

nun-such and damned narrow

feel that power

something I once knew

about two millenium ago

something I once said

before I was dead

something about

forgiveness

and shelter for us all

before I was bible back and ashen gray

there was a better day

a better way

feel that power

in your last hours

gonna rescue you

gonna see it through

feel that power and go home
