knead/kneel

how i miss those soft, grey times

gathered in a dim room

awaiting the unleavened bread

baked next door with shaking hands

before being torn and consumed

passed around like a whore

the flesh of the son

taken into soft mouths

and willing throats

you know, i never had the faith in the first place to lose. this is a hazy memory of my cult times, a sabbath 'celebration' we all took part in that i always found curiously Lynchian in its metaphor and dreamlike state. I have, of course, sexualised it needlessly, but then thats my thing baby!

and you are quite right. worship at the temple of god/desire. its all the same.
