o hear

o here 
lord—here 
is a platter of treats & refreshment 
in that high priest’s hands— 
a wild assortment— 
a forest of sugar & sacrament— 
& the spirit gives utterance 
on a sugary cloven tongue 
a word forest a non-sense  
that everybody here mostly gets or thinks they get—
            we get it— 
            don’t we?
