Mother fucker Priest, Keep me in your prayers.

"I texted Bruce: I'm working on my new poem “Mother fucker Priest Keep me in your prayers.” I don't know where it came from. from nowhere?"

Bruce texted back: "It came from somewhere.”

He is right; there's a church around Windmill Street that..."

"Gustave M goes and recites prayers every Saturday at 4 pm.

" He believes that the God of Christ is the God of mercy. I didn't say anything out of respect for him, but Tuesday after our conversation, when I got home, I was screaming inside myself... This poem might be the continuation of that scream."

windmills church

mother fucker priest

pray for me in your prayers

tell your God that I am dying

with hundreds of bullets in my body

a broken heart

broken hand

broken breath

tell him I am dying

a windmill church

a windmill priest

mother fucker priest

Do you think your God is different than theirs.?

the God of those who shot me a hundred times

hit me on my eyes

eyes that used to see the sea

and the mermaid who came from the sea to reach the fisherman

Mother fucker priest, do you know the fisherman?

if your God is different

if your God is real

why didn’t you see

my wounded, naked body?

And the flames in my hair?

the smell of burning tattoos

they tore up my emotion

I escaped from Dante’s Inferno.

I passed through the rocky plains, deserts, and mountains.

on burnt roads.;

On the road where girls were sleeping in their blood

mother fucker priest

Can you put my broken pieces together?

I have come a long way.

I have crawled on the roads

I have wandered on the roads

I saw things you have not seen.

Little girls with budding flowers of kisses

open hands yearning for love,

a dance not yet danced, twirling in their ankles,

withered smiles on their lips.

Little girls who aged on their deflowering beds

torn apart,

piece by piece.

Mother fucker priest

if your God cares,

why don’t you hold me in your arms?

why don’t you kiss me?

why don’t you embrace me?

Put your hand under my aging skin

That wrinkles to the ground

pull up the skin of my youth

clothe me with my youthful pinkness

Where are the knights?

The sleeping drunken knights?

in which direction have they gone?

I saw gold seekers

intoxicated and ruined

collect the tears of little girls,

thinking they were pearls

with girls’ cries, they went crooked, thinking it was wind

they cut off the fingers of the girls in hope of gold

they opened their anklets with hammers

they grabbed budding breasts to remove their golden necklaces.

the necklaces are made of seashells.

gold seekers left the church share aside,

Or the share for mosques and shrines

decapitated heads,

limp fingers,

bloody legs.

Tell me, what is love?

What does your God say about women, life, and freedom?

(What does your God know about burnt-faced women?)

What is the difference between your God and theirs?

Are angels unveiled?

Is life punishment?

love is on the executioner’s block.

Gold seekers held the mouths of little girls who prayed

mother fuking priest.

You took the earth on your penis, you and them, turning it upside down.

In your vortex of belief, you are drowning

Do you know what mother fucker priest?

if your God is different

then come to me

sleep in the church with me

kiss me and hug me

in the church

in windmill church

if your God is different,

sing the song of love,

dance the dance of life

and remember those

who lost their lives
