Pontius Pilate Committed Suicide


Blood, like heartbreak, is not easy to wash off
when televised in three parts.
Witches will bring you gifts of
potato chips, cookies, and tin boxes
while you ask for redemption.
You will receive this, though,
only if you tell them it is honorable.

Voluptuousness is not the saddest way to die,
but loneliness could be the worst,
and the discipline it requires
is not what you expected.
Do not go out today.
A vampire has predicted your future.

You will die like a god with a knife
in your throat.

Thanks so much. I did write it. Seems like I've been able to come up with more stuff lately. It's been a long road to all of it.
