Out of Context


A midwinter ceremony
Rapt, solemn faces
Lit with candles
Accepting bits
Of the human sacrifice
On their tongues.
On this day the tribe
Shares flesh
In defiance of the darkness
Drinks the victims blood
Diluted with water
To make it last.
And with their voices raised
In the language of their god
They give thanks.
what happens when a reluctant altar-boy grows up?

OMG, that is funny. I like the wording. It creates some nice imagery for me.
