dei gratia (careful christians, of the nasty word)

by grand grace
i leave behind
the human race
to jet among the stars
and kiss your face

again, this grace
my gravest gift
makes of me
by alchemy
a holy soul
from steamy shit

grace gripped me
by the scruff
i sprawled at that
despised cross
where nest of lies
and lusts
that clenched in fist
i clutched
became most
profitable loss

i burned beneath your
ember eyes
watched the blood
like rubies spill
bent
by grace
to breaking feet
and shaking
drank my fill

by grandest grace
i've left behind
the human race
to sit upon the stars
and kiss the God
who has a face
