Judas Cradle

Brodequin

Hanging high above the Inquisitors gathered

below ropes and shackles twitch in anicipation

placed upon the throne designed not for rules

but the sinful wretch

a belt fastened around the waist hoisted over the

cradle and lowered spike fixed under the spine

ropes attached to the feet rocked back and forth

questioned on faith weights shackled to the limbs

intense interrogation,spike set deep within the

flesh reducing the spine to pulp immense pain

fills the body with every tremor of the ropes

raised once again...
