Headache Muse: Public Access Poem 03/21/2021

Odd duck of a poem poured out of me tonight on a Reddit broadcast in response to a headache I was nursing. 

Manila Wafers

The halo behind my
head is throbbing again. 
Nothing particularly
immaculate about this
divine disk, padre. 
My pinky never learnt 
to play bass and that's no
church's fault still they
could have instructed
prayer more rigidly,
made us put tacks in our
shoes or at least offer 
to crucify one of us. 
The only spell known 

to counteract a 666 tattoo 
is a christian sincerely 
laughing at you. Trench
grin of a surf instructor
flushed with flavor aid -
his eyes roll back if
he whiffs blood near 
the wafers. Kingly 
bare chest bearing shark 
tooth necklace summer 
sandblasting these
kiddy cultists back to 
hell through the parody
purgatory of bible camp.
