Verses

                                                                          books have their place

                                                               even poems, the occasional ear

                                                                                                         but,

                                                                                                             verses

lying softly, laid by a

         multitude of angels rebelling

                                        and vengeful,

so softly,

                                 vengeful,

so softly,

                                                                 laying verses on your body

                                                                         for me to read

so softly,

              laid there by angels in exile,

a text invisible to

                 perfection,

                   invisible to

        god

                      laid there by jealous angels,

                                                                   for me to read

                                              rebelling

                                                                     on your body

so softly,

                                                                 books have their place

                                                                     even poems, the occasional ear

                                                                                   but,

                                                                              verses

lying softly,

                                                                       these verses

                                                                      for me to read

                                            rebelling

                                                                 on your body

would make                                                               

           even

                 god

                                  jealous,

and have my attention,                                                                                      

always.
