Misbelief v. Martyrdom
A fine barrier so
concealed
and sly,
Eavesdrops a newborn's
mordant lullaby
Near half-empty
cradles spattered in gin
A treacherous howl
calling Himself
"Sin,"
His footsteps prominent;
addressing His mourn
Each sound with a
whisper
reluctant and torn
But hushed voices wail
how infancy repents
while Sin doubts the yonder
Mumbling of past gents
