UNHOLY BOWLING

by Sayu Tera

I will not violate my covenant.
O repressed love,

I'm wrong to savor your sin.
I awake him putting it where I want.

The world is all that is in this.
Years of life are soon gone

And we fly away.
My love he tickles my clitty with the lip

Of a dreamer.
Please, I cannot violate my covenant

Or God shall deliver onto me a terrible pestilence.
I awake to the voice of the Word.

My love his foot slips, my love his wrists slit.
He has never felt any way.
