THE DARK AGES

Art by Paul Laurenzi

Step out of the era of repeating mistakes. Life is a tussle. You fight and hug. Maneuver in ways to experience love instead of getting slugged or fucked.

You ever go to the chapel for a lesson taught through a blessing. I met the daughter of a man teaching God’s word. She wanted to get away from her father’s unholy union. She said “men experience heaven from a woman’s hell on earth.”

She said she gave birth to an angel. A boy whose tail grew in the front, and her father was the reason for his horns. He grew to speak sharp and cut deep. She gave him all the love in the world but all he carried was her grief.
