Confession Of A Pedophile Priest
by Doug Tanoury 


"Forgive me Father for I have sinned"
And broken the sanctity of holy vows
With a single kiss
Of a sleeping hermaphrodite.
Oh, I have traced with my mouth
The pink crescent shade on one perfect cheek.
I brushed my lips across radiating warmth
And inhaled the strangely sweet scent of sin,
A mere trace of odor,
A slight smell of ripeness
Like the last fruits of late summer.

"Well, Aqua Velva my genitalia"
My voice is the song of the castrati.
The Jubilate Domino of my tongue
That touches and shapes each word
And mingles with the moistness of each new note.
Within the dimness of dark boundaries
And in the of fogginess of faded demarcations
I am hopeless to help myself
Or fight off the gnawing temptations
That grow so irresistibly
Into the fullness of compulsion.

"The sin of Sodom"
In the quiet of the sacristy
And in the twilight of the corridor
That leads to a bedroom
I suffer the burning flagellation
Of angel feather kisses,
In a litany of misguided desires
That is the limpness of a eunuch's lust
And can never be satisfied
By the most solemn benediction
Of yet another young boy's body.
