g.d will descend by Dustin Pickering

In the darkness following

fresh silence of the metropolis,

bloated fires seize

as exponential rain heals.

 

A bacchanal is what you requested,

granted the lights stay on.

We are fishers of men

through the soul's expression.

 

Sacre Coeur Basilica brightens the hill.

Jesus was pierced, rising again,

and you are permitted 

to see this however.

 

But the dark cannot guide you.

Nor will a seizure of light.

 

For context: 

Drag queens stand behind the table.
