halos on a pitchfork

she bore the costume of a topless dancer
and i of paul revere
i stalled
she called my name so clear
even now, above the din
thinking that, without a doubt
the cross is bigger than the sin
retreat
my likeness forgotten
and hers replaced
by dinner bells
and madam
and nine hells worth of pleasure
we're outlined in concrete
evidence
halos on a pitchfork...are still on a pitchfork
