Christ hanging there outstretched cross.
Christ hanging here in shame and loss.
Christ unproductive just needs a job.
Christ no english only a nod.
Christ ever thirsting for next drink.
Christ turning tricks. Seductive wink.
Christ dandelion unsightly lawn.
Christ of the dark long before dawn.
Christ gang graffitti brick wall of church.
Christ annoying screams. Makes ears hurt.
Christ illegal. Christ detained.
Christ defeated soaked in rain.
Christ reservations unfit for farming.
Christ mouthing nothing profound nor alarming.
Christ causing distance smells so bad.
Christ twitching awake bad dreams had.
Christ will work for food and anything helps.
Christ needy intimacy. Lacking love felt.
Christ between thieves executed sinner.
Christ mentally ill always beginner.
Christ locked up then deported.
Christ knocked up had her aborted.
Christ chain smoking sucking a drag.
Christ in a name. Queer. Fag.
Overlooked. Irrelevant. Christ remains.
Walking from tombs of loss and shame.
Thanks for this poem. Wonderful...
I found your blog looking for "symbolic hedge". Your comments were helpful. I am reading a book by Annie Dillard, who, apparently has a high symbolic hedge.
