All Comments on 'Whiskey and some ice'

but for me you didn't execute, aside from this portion:

You had been to midnight mass

in boots and sheepskin

eaten of His flesh

His blood sacristy-sweet

upon your breath

In the last stanza I can't find the tense relation to the rest of the poem. It seems like we have present, then recall and voice in past, but then where are you at the end? Anyway, "Christ's holy slut" is weak/lazy, going from sacristy-sweet to something as blunt and inelegant doesn't work here. I agree, it does seem like lack of execution on a solid idea.
