a virus now grows in evergreen fields
and a putrid culture is reanimated to consume
all that remains is a timeline of doom
inside drinking pickle juice
smoking a cedar pipe of pine
waiting to glimpse the holy light
to give is to receive, especially death
as blood is shed on family crests
who can divine what may come next
beyond the wall of fear and sex
life is provided under set conditions
with no exceptions to the golden rule
who would even seek to disobey it
only a female or a brazen fool
