A review by premxs
The Book Of Chocolate Saints by Jeet Thayil

5.0

Saint X

with the insane rituals
of the self, for the self,
detritus drowned by
external wash immiscible
with intrinsic ejaculate.

entombed lies faith
in purity; profaned life,
mossed tongues lashed on
canvasses of the inverse,
sandpaper to slit his throat.

---x---

a terrible, devastating, stunning mess of a life, a book.
