A One Sister Holy War
Mortal Danger/Mortal Sin
Mortal Danger/Mortal Sin
pull the trigger
flip the switch
machine wash
away
the sins of the world
Old habits die hard (bad habits bleed out)
but for one flash
one last
perfect second
one last
perfect second
those words rang true
and the bell rang
and the bell rang
in the tower.
(and in the inner ear drums of anyone staying after school that day)
within ear shot. out of reach.
No Hail Marys.

A generation with no wings
romanced by a color TV
A ‘Flying Nun’
Sally Fields
Killing Fields
War begins at home
