It's been awhile since the last T.O.D. entry... some may be grateful for small favors. The past few days have been relentless... my feet are swollen from the repetitive dancing with skeletons. Sleep has eluded me as well... not that I dream of sugar plum fairies in the first place. Usually I'm stirred three times a night with infectious nightmares... memories and thoughts nibbling at the curdled brain tissue. I wanted to come here tonight and write about things weighing heavy on me as of late, tell some adventurous tale of yesterday or perhaps finally speak of Serah Weaver... later developments taxed my ability to follow through. My mother needed some suckling and my sister needed some blood... my breasts and veins have gone dry. Time has hemorrhaged and the choir has remained quiet, preparing their aria and verdict. So tonight's entry will be another selected piece from T.O.D... boo, hiss, boo. As a form of compensation, it will require no dissection... tapestries are unfolded and the edges are in place. Those of you that have been following along have figured out by now, that every thing I say has a message, purpose or target... those gingerbread men are crafty and refuse the feast without chase. It is a bit graphic and perhaps offensive... to no one's surprise, I am certain.
"The Offering"
I had a baby-
And slit its throat.
It shook and jiggled-
Like a slaughtered goat.
It was not of joy-
But a service of mine.
An offer and payment-
To Satan the divine.
It lay there fresh-
On my alter of stone.
Now I must clean it-
Pulling flesh from bone.
I boiled its fat-
For a warm tasty drink.
Inhaling the aroma-
As it boiled up pink.
I ripped out its heart-
Squeezed it bone dry.
Ate out its liver-
And smoked its left eye.
I saved all the blood-
As instructed to do.
Anointed my forehead-
And savored some too.
Its red-stained bone lay-
Other ingredients in place.
For now it is the hour-
To see my Master's face.
He blessed me His servant-
Bestowing power in my hand.
No longer of fleshy earth-
But His immortal I stand.
-(An excerpt from T.O.D.)
