Something to do with the Congo

perhaps He chanced
to spy on a virgin dance,
but His heart was held
hostage in America

He was left to see her divinity
being swallowed by a man made of clay.
He tore her down to her rosary
and fell for a line from dismay

He had forgiven if May came with flowers,
but it was yet June and the bugs had
started biting and burrowing deep
and his phalice was a swollen creek

It was a shame, really,
to watch these two
share a moment inside a shrew.
Who knew?
