I was walking today
And someone yelled
Out the window of his expensive car:
Calvary

At first, I thought
Calvary? Cavalry?

Then I thought
Hmm…are angels in the business of advertising Mel Gibson productions?
Blood…blood
I know the story
Do I have to see the blood?

And then I thought…

And I managed to make it home before collapsing to the floor in tears

(the game the baby the man the jealousy the holiness the anger the secret the killing the killing the killing…
the olive trees
the candlesticks)
