Infiltration Challenge
Write a poem about infiltrating a cult to stop a virgin sacrifice.
The Relationship
Footsteps
They come for me, somehow, I know
Simpatico.
I still have need; I still remember want
This isn’t how I am supposed to go
Simpatico.
My eyes attempt but cannot blink
Cold fills this space between unearthly shadow
Simpatico.
Praise academia. I believe in academics
Religion is a travesty, a cult, a mind-numbing placebo
Simpatico.
Why then do you want me? Take your hands off me
Don’t sacrifice this unspoiled moment of chaste ego
Simpatico.
These footsteps are determined, then apprehend
I was wrong, I’m sorry, I beg you! Infiltrator! Let go!
Simpatico.
A castaway lost beneath the body of water
A soul that drowns without ever exercising veto
Simpatico.
