Jacqueline Explains Her Assault on Her Boyfriend to the Police
Chuck Von Nordheim
Agencies partnered with sin obstruct the consummation
of the all-seeing eye
His love aroused forgotten godhood, dissolving the shackles of human
constraints
The cosmos whispers to gods and supplies ropes of code to yank open
cyber doors
Those ATM and convenience store cameras wanted his betrayal witnessed
Intranet servers obey the divine and clear their gateways for revelation
Wicked mortals who reject empyrean commandments may call miracles crimes
But their terms don’t apply to transcendent beings such as she
who sits in this chair
And as far as the necessary bloodletting done by my Erinys shadow
He’s in less pieces than Set left Osiris, a puzzle my Isis self
can solve
