Poetry by Jason Edwards
Random access Wichita memories:
Bethany’s songs, death of virginity,
So much fun and Aqua-Tomfoolery.
Lucifer and the cherubim, legions
Baptized by fires set on seraphim,
Make holes in the sky. They fall when I fly
Broken wings, and that succor from sirens.
Murder in the birth degree, Nephilim
Turgid words in my head, alive I’m dead
Resurrected, sacrifice common sense,
Nourished by delicious flesh turned rotten,
Word-proof lazaretto, sneak in, shadows
Write them down so they can be forgotten.
