FILE NUMBER 20
by Ken W. Simpson
Homo Sapiens
Cloven creatures
deodorised archetypes
revived as beasts
to satisfy heredity’s
need for greed
stinking of sanctity
before the resurrection.
Amazing Grace
Dead sea souls
and a black
Satanic Mass
for Christians
accused
of genkocide
to propitiate
evil spirits
and beseech
forgiveness
with the sacrifice
of an infant.
The Missing Link
Sacred and profane
these hallowed balls
unfinished
but perfectly formed.
