on self-destruction

and god said, your body

is eden. tend to it like eve. 

know the fruit that kills you

and eat it, drink its juice,

break the covenant. betray

your bones for the pain

so you can pray for healing.

herd sheep with one hand 

and with the other, strike

the shepherd. be extraordinarily

miserable, create your own

personal plague. crush

your jericho in your fist,

and it will be good.
