Jesus Has Been Staying With Me

my arm pushes away the sun

a zombies arm
unshaved
unwashed
unclean

the fresh dawn dew
glistens
in
the presence
of
the morning stars
light
sight

i rise
a mound
of
withering
wormy
clay flesh
into
the tomb
resurrected

stumbling
staggering
about
the bottle
grave yard
moaning
for
strong
black coffee
to soak
my
brains in

by
early afternoon
my
rough dry
tongue
has caught
some
refreshment
from
the red acid
raindrops
falling
from
bottle shaped
dark green
clouds

unbeknownst
number
causes
cell bells
to
clang mercilessly
for
my soul
when
they stop
an
angels voice
speaks
about
Vietnamese food
and
ten pin bowling

later on
when
we met
my
angel seems relieved
i’ve
showered and shaved
this
time

we
lick each other’s
excited
wagging tongues
in
a soul mating
greeting

we eat
then
we go bowling

i
bowl over pins
like
i’m a
bouncer
knocking drunks
at
a bar
into
the gutter
while
trying to work
out
the angle
to
get the splits
on
angels divine
pins

problem solved
angel
wants to see
my
tomb

Pythagoras be damned
no
need to wait
for
my cock
to
crow thrice
i’ll
never deny
my
lucky god head

i
heroically roll
the
stone back
to
let her in
to
my tomb

angel
says
“i see you like your wine”
while
looking aghast
at
the low-lying
dark
green clouds
covering
the
peaks of the floor

i
suggest
a
quick game
of
spin the bottle
as
i explain the clouds
were
only fill of water
vapours

my
angel
a
skilled
meteorologist
sniffs
loudly
at
an empty
cloud
causing
an
affront
to
her nose’s
good sense’s

i
subsequently confess
to
my angel
that
Jesus
has
been staying
with
me

“yeah right”
she sighs
in
righteous disbelief
before
flying off
into
an avenging angel
that
summons
me to
take her home
then
informs me
too
go promptly
back
to hell

when
i get back
a
sheepish Jesus
appears
to me

i say
“what the hell dude”

jesus
spreads his arms out
crucifixion style
and
says

“my bad bud”

i
pick up
a
vertical
green cloud
that
is still floating
upright
over
my tombs
terrain
and
i takes a long swig
of
forgiveness
only
because

greek zombie Messiah’s

turn
water
into
the
best bloody wine
