a perseverance
in bleach fumes
scrubbing until
raw flesh sloughs
to the floor
open sores burn
as disinfectants
eradicate disillusion
leaving a trail
of tear shaped red
to stain the
otherwise immaculate
halls of misery

a human blight
corrupting the sanctity
of this frozen hell
a vegetable laying
on a vestibule of
best intended sins
left unattended by
the angelic choir
lost in an orgy of
self righeous disdain
showering the penitent
in bukkake blessings
from the vacancy above
