Matthew 7:21

Depart from me!
I never knew you.
Bleary eyes buried in skeletal shame sockets.

Your shoes,
soaked in blood!
They squelch on concrete jailhouse pavement.
The beating heart of oversized corduroy clings
to our birdsong like falling sands.
Perturbed maliciousness, midnight madness in the
interstate exit afterglow.

Go,
leave from my sight;
beloved, I’ve known you always,
and will meet you as you might.
