Messiah by. Adam Levon Brown

Dead feet
in drugged snow-

reminisce rigor mortis
in shallow pools,

originally made for wishes.
Therein lies a snapping turtle;

jaws of unyielding teardrops clench memories-
crucifixions in the name of empire.

Sodden teeth dot the floor with death dust,
where sand and blood are fused into sacrificial 

glass.
