Opposite Jaws

The damned warning
Of course it pierces the moment of prayer
Light expires!
With delirium well held
He remembers to embrace
The changing hole in his shivering heart,
His last act is to whisper in his sleep,
“I have no shirt.”

While waiting we are dropping, one by one,
With slackened soles our sinner’s feet
And opposite jaws caretakers
Agreeing, of course,
The law is electric,
The hole is a mistake.
