Jesus der Allegorie

I had a vision

You stood in the middle of the road
Halo around upon your head
Shotgun wound to the chest

I opened my eyes

There you stood
All innocence and beauty
Shotgun wound to the chest

What dream though

I took you off
I walked you home
Trailing your life behind us
Like a book from the gospels

Do you see the truth

When we got home
I nailed you to the door
You said "just go"

There you stand

In the time of your grand undoing
I walk slowly
Enraptured by your crime

No more dreams though

I clean the gun now
As the light in the window fades
Your candle splutters in the breeze

Straight through you
Once more captured

In my dreams
