salvation

[dredpiratebunny]

she can see how it happens
how faith falls down the cracks
how a little inner death can save the soul
steel up the façade

the moments that bring you
through doorways and holes in the ground
the friendly fire smiles
the kool-aide everyone drinks

faith is watery
tries to pull itself in
to the tighter sphere
of space and time
and can't
and lies prone
spread thin
pot-holing into sidewalks
sinking

in his eyes
lit up like jesus halos
blue and deep
and she wants it
but the devil has other ideas
