Last Days

Last Days
by Latorial Faison

This twisting of esophageal matters,
     this forceful overseeing of lambs.


This coat of unnecessary colors,
     this abandonment of green pastures


This anatomy of chaos,
     this politics of a Judas kiss


This second death without a second coming
     this temple money-changers have built anew.
