theres a boy with a ring
who cried out loud
the day god left earth
to start on bigger things
and this dirt between his nails
came from the mound
where the wooden chapel sat
burning and fell to the ground
these crosses jutting from the soil
like impossible heroes
promise a great story told
and this boy with his ring
whose mother lies here buried
underground
and jesus was a boy
with an angel on his crooked back
a wrenching spine and spider tooth
but he didn’t give a fuck
a stolen horse, both eyes blind
called out his holy prayers
to the boy with the ring
salvation knows no names
