Communion

Drink ye all of it
You all from timeless cup
Romance the pouting lips
Treat the trembling tongue.

Substantial adulterated mingling
In salivating cavity confined
Crucified cocktail in emptied heads
Swooning swirling gathering unrefined

Spinning out the spiritual energy
Shaking out the inner demon
In sweaty budding beads
Sucking in the breath of God

This union of quivering saints
Heads and hands heaven bound
Unbound dancing body giving forth
Life entire to unseen ground.
