Cast a protective shield in

the shape of the United States

light seven advent candles and

a stick of dragon’s blood incense

invoke the ghosts of slave owners

with handfuls of dust and voided

checks scattered at your feet

fill a pewter chalice with

water from the Rio Grande

drop the bones of fathers

and sons into the water

stir with an eagle’s feather

let the bones marinate as you

masturbate to completion while

meditating on the image of Moloch

hold the chalice before you

in your small tangerine hands

chant America first once for every child

covered in dirt behind a Texas fence

drink deep the broth

of asylum and belch

blow out the candles

and clear the circle

take a scalding shower in salt

water and bacon grease while

the energies do their work

and just a reminder as you

take part in this great work

never kneel
