Like blood to bruise
Your clothes clung close to you
& hair grown back to hues
Of curls you've kept from view
& mussed as it was
When last I saw you
As much as each of us
Who'd just a**ume you knew
We knew
You float through the room
Which traipsed, in turn, through you
Retrace those restless days
Now laced amongst the pews
& young as we was
When I last laid hands on you
Your touch left most of us
With tails & tongues removed
& you knew
So speaks the priest of last reprieves
& each forever holds his peace
You stumbled once at vows of trust
But don't worry kid:
Your secret's safe with us
...but how we all salivate when the bells ring
