    Sacrosanct

    Sacrosanct

    in her cap and gown
    she covered solid ground
    and didn't know where it would all lead
    the sages came and went
    and said that she was heaven sent
    and sometimes she would believe

    G-d was there, G-d was not
    as she laid down to take a second shot
    and the sages prayed for her soul
    they washed her with their handsome words
    they baptized her and those hidden wounds
    as she moaned out sacred rock and roll

    her angels sang of warmth
    her angels sang of warning
    but morning arrived just the same
    the rain came down in shudders
    and she thought of all the others
    that had kept her warm but always in pain

    when the four of them awoke
    feeling rich but almost broke
    happy to have been there and back 
    they sighed like dreaming cats
    and everyone laughed and imagined that
    the rain was waiting like the guy in the cab

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
