Verse: Altar

We are not
cowardly or
complacent

Crawling toward
the clandestine
ceremony

The deep
dark mouth
of heaven

we arrayed
like a feast
and yet

it could not
ever swallow
all our lust

ringed by
confrontational angels
aroused by their disdain

that look
we used to call it
jealousy

now we know
it's fear
