A Calvary of Clowns

A calvary of clowns

Finds the spiritual lining

In my symphony of sardonic sacrilege

Convinced they understand

The “like-mind” of my pursuit

Of the all-consuming spirit

Then they’re offended

Seeing the beating heart

Of my experiential God

Which blasphemes

Every dumb notion

Of a belief system hitherto held

Glorifying the revelation of darkness

Embracing the devil

Denying fear by defeating desire

Defecating on the church pulpit

Flinging feces far and wide

Over every chapel’s

Stained glass silhouettes

Shattered in the unforetold reckoning

Their beloved symbology

Of father, virgin and son

Who’ve only ever existed

Within
