It became
the Elixir to my life
Wrong or right
Vice or dice
Like my anointing
was to be shamed
Visceral, ethereal
realer than a game
Untamed folly fixed me
Backwashed soot
blackmailed me
I became the lashings
of my deeds
Mirrored in a thousand
other’s creed
Erupted panacea alive
in the finest gritty bead
Pearl Black Sheep
