Little Stories
by Desdemona SinestraMichael, I'd sleep
But I'd rather lie here
And watch your face
Because the way it looks
When it's facing me
Is like an angel cooked
In bacon grease
Heaven is as imperfect
As the ghosts who haunt it
God's just a terrified tenant
In this home we've possessed
We write our prayers with a choir of scorned corpses
Tidy up
Slumlord Jesus
Ashes and flashes
Cover the masses
Distract from the lord's duress
Bones crack and moan
Like the windy forests at home
Lead us not from temptation
And spare us not the money-shot
The countdown concludes
And there she is asleep
Careful not to make a peep
Ashes to ashes, my sweet
I'm glad we have these little stories
