Holy Days


Stuck within the die
Rattled
Never certain
The numbers will shake
To where?
Random dots
Dark on light
Revealed to luck
Or misfortune
Encapsulated
Escape
Choose a number
Push aside a pip
          Pass to the table
                    Stuck within a bottle
                    Engaged
                    Never certain
                    Solace found in forget
                    To where?
                    Random thoughts
                    Memories in light
                    That was good
                    Now misfortune
                    Self loathing
                    Escape
                    Choose your life
                    Push aside the glass
                              Pass to the table
                                        Stuck within this pipe
                                        Suppressed
                                        Never certain
                                        Lost in a haze
                                        To where?
                                        Random pain
                                        Lost light in dark
                                        Fond memory
                                        Messed fortune
                                        Emasculated
                                        Escape
                                        Reveal the good
                                        Set aside the unnatural
                                        And pass to the table

So rise from the death in your life
Stand upon this tableau and reveal
The truth of our existence
The existential normal needs your faith
And the faith of all humanity
Your resurrection an example to us all
Who suffer such personal profound pain
This is not a religious experience
This is your pious duty to you
That integral piece of a communal kind
To show the holiest of days
Is the day we become together wholly
