essay: #07 LAST RITES

Karol Wojtyla
1920 - 2005

Vigil...
Candles...
Rivers of tears...
Shed...
For...
A man...
With wings woven of messianic gold...




Reactionary papacy...
Sweet Jesus...
Judgments...
By the Prophet of the New Millennium...
Let he without sin...
Cast the first stone...

Vatican-cam...
Corporation-cam
Press-Office 24/7 fucking-cam...

Soon to be canonized...
JOHN PAUL THE GREAT...
If you don't mind...

Crazy fucking world...

Pomp and ceremony...
oils the internal cogs-and-wheels...
that-makes-the-Vatican-go-round...

I dream of bridges...
High into the stratosphere...
Color...
Cobalt...
Steel-of-my-eyes...
Of the ocean...
Stormy days...
Stormy times...
Prophecy...
Uncertainty...
ahead...

RIP...
Pope John Paul II...
