Judas dropped by
once again
lopsided today
margins of that
shattered rock
still knocking
on my cryptic door
just stopped by
to openly say
first hi and hey
then something
cosmically elliptic
Judas said
digesting tryptically
hello again
just like he did
those other days
seriously though
Judas arrived
again together
one last supper
righteously on time
inviting acknowledgement
spirituality bro
deciphering
this living
contrived rhyme
Judas knelt down
needing sacred time
to simply view
raw mother earth
I knelt down too
acknowledging
my raw nakedness
our vital birth
leavening and breathing
grateful for heartbeat too
Judas lay down
heartbroken
on solid ground
wanting to feel
profound quality
manna for meat
sacred vibration
purity through maturity
speaking holy
blood into wine
those heathen prayers
splayed openly
displayed upon this
sacred ground
oh frayed Judas 
profound brother
what destiny wrought
Judas fucking Iscariot
a resonant state
what prophecy brought
enticing meditation
up on my concise
pondering porch
chants and prayers
wandering
that first hard knock
which I heard
wondering
debating time
second helpings
of this and that
chewing up signs
digesting divine
tic toc tic toc
ingesting revelation
ignite that holy torch
oddly even
ad hoc
proud prophecy
scorched and burned
aristocracy mate
that golden bull
that christmas cake
that fatted calf
each bold lurch
behold wealth's church
place one side up
every turn taken
put one side down
that fateful curve
destiny's illumination
what Judas spake
final destination
buying all that
lasting pain
power and silver
all that wealth and glitter
as we bleed and hang
