In 
the name of the father, and of the son,
and 
of the holy spirit on the rocks, slightly
dirty, 
a twist of virgin with a bun in the oven.
In 
the name of the father, and of the son,
and 
of the holy spirit in the sky, where I’m
gonna 
go when I die, provided I have done
enough 
contrite acting, having said one
more 
Hail Mary than my number of sins.
In 
the name of the father, and of the son,
and 
of the holy ghost, the kind of apparition
that 
won’t linger in the attic of your home
it 
once inhabited, mistaking you for some
Judas 
Iscariot from its past, having chosen
to 
spend its afterlife making mysterious
scraping 
sounds.  In the name of the 
father,
not 
the mother, but definitely the son,
not 
the daughter, nor Mary Magdalene,
who 
god forbid might’ve made the son come
to 
realize that taking a little break from
saving 
mankind does wonders for the skin,
skin 
which is curiously Anglo Saxon
in 
most depictions despite its Arab origin.
Let 
us not forget to end this crucifixion
tribute 
with the left-to-right shoulder tap
of 
the holy spirit, the crossbar, the horizon.
Amen.
