Giving your secrets to a poet

by John Bryan

you've made a wise choice
for i have the capability
to change the literal day
white hot
into a metaphoric night
black quiet

i will pray for
and share your unholy trinity
with the following only:

to the father: ADDICTION
to the son: ABORTION
to the ghost: PROSTITUTION

this privy i swear
in poesy domains
i'll keep
