Dinnertime for Ammit 

 “It’s midnight. I’m turning off my phone. Go to sleep”

I asked you for infinite gentleness

And you crushed me

 with the letter of your Law

What you call “justice” is cruelty, 

shrouded in fear and shame

And I hate what you have done to me

I will not give up on love 

Even as I lie mangled and dying 

under the falling bombs

From here, the sky is still beautiful 

I love you as you have your way with me

as you tear my heart from my chest

and leave me bleeding on the shore

I will love you until I can't anymore

And beneath it all 

I still see our innocence

as vengeance rolls from my hands

and the night explodes into a million stars

and I am lifted by feathers and light

Bless…

For the Word of God is written on my heart

And every breath is a prayer

blessed by what is good and right

As Ammit feeds on the hearts of

the unrighteous
