All Or Nothing At All
A therapist skirts the edge of lunacy
like a priest engages sin
An evangelist disavows poverty and fear
like a snake that sheds its skin
Together they paint the corridors black
with a promised light to come
Their patients and converts alone in the dark
salvation zero-sum
(Dreamsleep: March, 2023)
