Can a moment in time be held?

Can it be weighed?

Or will you let it swell?

An ace in the deck

a heartbeat on the side,

a harlot

a queen,

a pagan mystified.

Drowning

the fleeting,

the holy and the blessed

the cherished,

the scorned

the meek and all the rest.

Did you make it to the clouds?

The Sky of Judas' glee,

he paved the way in silver and tongues;

a tender noose and the seed.

And as you waste

all your daggers and cloaks,

find lips to share a kiss

mindful of the crown,

a blade to clear your throat.

On a walk with Judas

where the fearful chose to reside,

you may waste your prayers in the sand

but at least you can say you tried.
