Plaster Saint - Trevor Powers

Love has changed among us

The evening died, and we’re unheavenly human in the daylight

Cocaine can’t quiet the conscience, but yes it’s tried

It’s the dogma of deletion with a .45

She never thought much of herself

That she could write more than potboilers that rot a shelf

In lonesome episode

On the outside of her once romantic home

(Wash away my sin)

We dissolve the family den, the rapture screen that showed the end

Will my clarity stay?

Nectarine, ever so ripe

But the body’s unclean

My body’s unclean

Spirit

(Wash away my pain)

Discipline

The pocketbook light

I’ve spent every dream

I spent everything, Father

Left a dollar for a dime

Sold the vineyard for a vine

Traded armies for a life

Maker of me

(Wash away my sin)
