Witness
by
Helen Vitoria

there is something hidden inside
your pleasing exterior
a contraction of muscle on semi-divine status
I do not know about external punishment
of eagles or the feel of hot metal on liver
there was an electrical mount on a
corpse before coming to life
Come. Charge this brain for a while
disturb it's chemistry with your profane finger
secretly exhaust it into forgiveness
