The cup of my sins,
just like yours once,
dear Jezebel*,
has overflowed…
…
Repent?
Fall to my knees,
shout: misstepped!
Well, who hasn't?
Renounce? Cry?
Child's play. Circus tent.
Puppet show.
For heaven's sake?
It's about time you ditched
that damn superhero costume;
I'm allergic to latex
and your sermons
on salvation.
I hope that the dogs are hungry,
'cause I'm ready:
they've never had
such noble bones before.
*Jezebel - a biblical figure known for her wickedness and idolatry. She even had a showdown with the prophet Elijah, who put a curse on her. Her story didn't end well; she was thrown out of a window and torn apart by dogs.
