Spirits
Spirits like stomachs
need to be filled
stuffed with a god’s breath
a divine double cheeseburger
of servitude and salvation,
Or a thick crusted pizza
fancy toppings of political
ideology, fulsome causes,
And, yes, don’t forget
desert, dense, sweet cake
chocolate syrup doxycycline-buy.com drenched
swelling love’s belly.
