god ghosted
I kneel, keel, keen at an empty rock shrine
Worshipper to my sinfulness:
When you were mine
I warded off witches 
By picking your tree
These arbours, your ardour
sowing seeds of unease.
You peeled away my bark
Yet I gorged it down whole
Etched into our roots
Mocking fateful footfall.
My moss on the pillar
To cushion my pain,
But roughness and toughness
Sprouted worms in my brain.
No buck, just rut
Not wed stones 
But headstones: violent gemstones uncut.
Target locked but misfired and damn, misjudged!
Cupid’s arrow wept softly and
Only begrudged.
Could these petals supplant? 
Could I have inspired your sap? 
Let my lungs drown in honey and invite the ants?
Oh, but so sweet! So warm, the taste!
Succour to a sucker: palms pressed to the wastes.
We’d be a sylvan family: Belvedere, 
Prick your ears up and hear those bells, my dear
Taming Medusa, your roaring great lion,
My chiselled Greek seraph atop Mount Zion.
Deity, I cradle, offer kindle up
Lay my flower to a bower once heady with lust
Now, god ghosted
I know how it felt. To have pined,
to have knelt
At my empty rock shrine.
