Transubstantiation

for Rachelle Ferrell Nothing composed except the song your mouth stays sieged

Never afraid to rummage the plain thing until it ascends called out

& sung

I need three stanzas you a note

Bent on

    if the hand offend thee cut it off     son as appendage batty boy     my father yes     a man’s man     not bent like father     the sissy he tries forgetting     as a man thinkethso is he     I don’t calm myself that way     when he says he can’t love me this way I take that     to mean The sissy in you     I gave to youThat way you are     I craveThat way you are     bend to it
