Pray For Me

By Guillotine

 I’m as confused as time itself

Not sure if I’m the bullet; or the gun

A psychosomatic trigger;

      Pulled by the metaphysical

Fingers in my head;

I play my symphonies on skeleton keys

Wound in cobwebs, fickle as the womb

where God’s cup hath already spilled.

I am the unborn jackal,

    Sheathed but sharp

as sweet mercy.
