In the Piety Exacted by Anxiety


 
In the piety
exacted by anxiety
when you would kneel
to any god

and promise it
your soul –

if only it would
leave you
wholly
as you’d like to be –

when psychically
you’ve bled unholy red

and all the reassurance
in the world
will not assuage
the sinking dread –

the rapid blink
of imminent catastrophe –
 
effect abrupt
distraction.
Think
of me.
