cold hand
keeping me awake
reduced blood flow

On a Loophole of Catholic Faith
St Peter seems the only angel made
to work for every minute of the day
by interviewing every single shade
who climbs the gilded staircase to the sky.
And though Anubis measured every heart
against a feather's weight to judge their worth
St Peter seems to tally up the marks
for and against the soul accrued since birth.
One has to wonder which religious man
ruled that sins repented on your death
would offer a free pardon so they can
enter those Pearly Gates upon last breath.
The girl who kills her rapist goes to Hell
but repenting rapists saved by Peter's bell.
