Jericho
You had your followers,
institute wall climbers
who told the guards your secrets
for a pocket full of un-swallowed calm,
yet still they came for you at night.
Non believers with hot Bourbon breath
would spit on your claims
hold cameras in your face
looking for a trace of divinity,
slowly rewinding each frame.
No one was ready
the day your father came,
his visit would unlock
every door, scuff the polished floor
with streaks of dug in heals
dragged mindless into a pyre
that you climbed before the thunder bolt
and acrid smoke.
They called off the search 3 days in,
divers in the murk looking for a sign
beneath waters where no one could survive.
They didn't know you had walked.

If your undies fer you've been smoking through em, don't peg em out
