SACRAMENTAL BLASPHEMY

        Photo by Chema Madoz

You are the patron saint
of promiscuity
and lust

A woman that holds the origin
of passion's beastly eponym,

the convulsion of an erotic
death-rattle

You remove your figleaves
and award nakedness' dire limpidity
to vision

Clad in my demonic canonicals

I officiate with crushing deference
at thy body's service

And I come down whole
to the flexible bow of your thigh

And I submit to it

Before the triumph
of your flux

Never shall I
receive other communion
than your jasmine wetness.
