Bren Spilker

i rotted inside that church

prayed my sins up to god

blood dripped off my scalp

and i fractured into pieces

on the twentieth day

i dropped into the sand

dehydrated and sick

begging for righteousness

instead i found you

looking down upon me

antlers pierced your temples

letting me drink the blood

owed for my suffering

pulled me away from light

and struck me to hell

 

i found peace in my own deterioration

happiness in my own pain
