the devil came to visit today
he brought a bag of weed a six pack of beer
some morphine sulfate and a crazy-colored crayon
picture from his daughter Zoe,
he comes by to watch me rot
feet swollen like sausages plumped up from
the grill
skin molted layers of brown onions scared from
years of ulcerated disease,
"you're still alive? fucking amazing." then he'd
passed the joint and opened a bottle of beer with the edge of
his BIC or it might have been the horn of his tail
"when are you going to die, old man?" he smiled.
"when I've fucked your mother, you bitch from hell."
"is that all? I thought you were a man of vision." laughing
he dropped the pills in my hand and I take them like the
body of Christ, crossing myself
Lord have mercy,
the devil laughs and agrees to come to my First Communion
on Easter Vigil, it's on a Saturday and he's got the night off
anyway,
we talked about our work, my writing and his girlfriend
downstairs
she stripped down in the bathroom of burger joint and watched
worms crawl from her skin screaming she was with the devil
they took her away for a while,
of course she is right, but nobody believes in the devil anymore,
right?
