Golgotha
Golgotha,
where wind serenely nips
stigmatic fingertips
crucifix slips
into holy foundation
naked whip’d leader of nation
carried,
harried by
nails, by crown
thorns adorn scalp, palpitates
with scars, bites nappy knots
Semitic dreadlocks quivershake with
excruciating muscular stretch
snapped deltoids, torn palms
nails skewer arteries unclotted
spewing, blot the dust
etch heart-mosaic with red rust
foreshadows of lust painting
the sand, tainting the bland
with the trickle of life,
cords of rope wrapped round his hands

heckled! by the fickle
hordes, desirous to abhor
messianic scapegoats
sacrificed like goats
to the glorious god,
odd Jekyll emerges
from his schismatic soul
transcends tortured hide
shrieks blasphemous blame
as flesh curls in fresh pain,
fetal
falls
one skull
among so many

Jekyll emerges
magik satan baitin’ his urges
masturbatin’ amongst the dirges
and visionary envisions
final temptation
sex with whores
kinky,
bodies rolling like slinkies
breasts upon nipples, vaginal ripples
but reluctant hero returns to
form, to cross
to loss of life and foxy wife
to rite of Golgotha,
one skull among many
one book
the new of two.
