Snakes and ladders

Snakes and ladders 
Friend or foe 
Be like Jesus 
Crown of woe

At the peak of our depth 
At the height of our low 
Once we were strangers 
You'll never know 

How deep is betrayal 
How pearly the scars
What now my hunger
What now my flower 

Your petals your perfume 
The scent of your bush 
Be with me now 
In ecstasy and oblivion 
Be with me now 
Flood of redemption 
Wash my fate 
With sticky sap 
And wild abandon 
All that tends to
Penetration 
All that blends in 
globs of taint 
Succumbs surrenders 
Supplicates
Defends her fortress 
Mends her gait 
Let's be married
And fornicate 

I believe in the hot and holy 
I believe in the mystical city 
I believe in the cold the lowly 
He will amend our fear and pity
Like a diamond curves the light 
Into scorching tears of glass 
And the mind 
which serves you right 
Shall dissolve from first to last
Adoramus te domine

Snakes and ladders 
Friend or foe 
Be like Jesus 
Crown of woe
At the peak of our depth
At the lethe of our slew
Once we were strangers 
You never knew.
