spiritus sancti

By diavolessa

The wind yells
In the tongue of the devil
Holding the spirit of the ghost
And you try to listen
A corpse without a torso

It’s the Holy Mary
Crying for her child
The beauty of being alone
Yet drenched in the spirit of the wind

It dances
Slowly and sinuously
Movements of a drunken artist
A filbert sunken in red red paint
The bloody lips of a girl
The sexed crimson hair of a whore

The laughter of the idiot
Too smart to cry
Too healthy to lie

Taken to a place without hold
Transverse with dead flat tears
Slowly it moves closer
Closer to the beating heard
It nears all your fears
Thumping the same as your heart
