How To Take The Host
on how addiction returns and the rites it takes
and so, the rite begins
1. piss on the powder for me,
2. anoint it holy water, let the body open,
3. name boofing communion,
my ass the chalice where grace dissolves.
4. dream your mother into the freezer aisle,
rewriting the Book of Revelation
on freezer bags full of dope.
5. rouse to the syringe whispering
you’ve been divorced in every timeline.
6. cinch the ass altar open once more,
baptized in his piss and sanctified.
7. Relapse
