The Twain “Seraphim” of Torture

Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem

Genesis 3:24 KJV

A gate that ravishes with rudest hair

Christ fashioned but he then forbade with sword,

Held flaming sword, of cherubim.  This pair

With fire of blade revealed the truth the Lord

Imposed on men, all men, and hairy sons

To torture them forever and a night.

The masculinity of stars and suns

He tantalizes with this angel fright

For pleasure on the throne of Heaven.  Hard

This pleasure for the highest royal heart

Gives lasting thrills through pleasures ever marred

For men withheld in male intensest part.

  You know exactly which hirsutest holes

    That Jesus has verboten from male poles.
