I heard about the necessity of the damned

partial minds

in the belly of the world combinatorics.

---

The masochist god strikes itself.

A mereological carnivory (or auto-cannibalism)

exits the just in order to form justice,

damns the innocent, and

builds its towers on a bed of crime.

---

I heard about the necessity of the damned.

How could we ever forgive god?

How could we ever forgive ourselves?

How can we forgive our roots that made us

out of stolen clay?

---

The sadist god strikes its shadow.

---

We are one and the same.

We are all stolen clay.
