Faith and 2 Fuck Yous
To: the forgetting of years of sacrifice

Formidable desires,
sadistic punishment ensues,
petty gossamer promises
string faith and 2 fuck yous.
Circuitous diatribes,
licentiously untrue,
dissolute confidences
ring faith and 2 fuck yous.
Peculate, filch, and flout
the valence we accrue,
hypnotic and ionic you
bring faith and 2 fuck yous.
Robber, burglar, lurcher
sick marauder of the few,
blazing guns of ferment that
spring faith and 2 fuck yous.
Commiserate, obliterate
the language that we knew,
forgetting years of sacrifice,
I sing faith and 2 fuck yous.
Thank you for reading the original version of this poem. I have fought with the other five versions. Sometimes, having to choose what to publish is the hardest part about writing.
