We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Red Chasuble

Looking for some
redeeming quality
in ruby satin shoes
fit for running
lace along the edge
of the street
midnight midriff
the strummer
strings a perfect pitch
of G

Down here
we filter
smoke like sewer
rats, slice the vein
with a precise blade
let the juice run
rabid

A dark stutter
walks in
with nothing
but a smile
to pass the next
creature we sliver
inside a hand carved cave

I want to confess
it's been over thirty
years;
I don't know where
to begin, where to end

What penance would a priest
bestow pagan sinner?

I let it simmer
in the bath
while boiling water
runs over imperfect manicured toes;
green faded teal

Hunger and sleep
remain a mystery
vetoed checks
float
another day

I like the feeling
of communion
with another
flesh to flesh
becoming one
immaculate skin

I need a messiah
to teach
what I lost
what I forge
so easily
I forget
makes forgiveness
a snap

I am not God
or Goddess
it isn't mine
to remit
