Small cold pendant of St. Mary
                        on my soft lower belly,
 
A heavy gold chain around
                my neck. 

your choices, your choices, 
                      your choices

your choices led you 
                           here, gave this to you.

your wreckless, your fateful, 
                  your long languished choices. 

You are a disaster, and 
      in God's Wisdom – 

unfurled confetti roadkill on the road
                             to God's Kingdom. 

sweet little carrion birds, carry me 
                      across the finish line, 

I can only pass through heaven's gates
                    in morsels, as misty spray 
                                                – torn apart

I decided to cross the road without looking 
                               and it made all of the difference.
