Body
the consonants begin to choke on the vowels
and wrestle my tongue five feet down
down
down
down
to the underside of my blue pregnant feet
swollen to scabbed knees in indignant defeat
that one syllable bearing a noose in its hand
a word whose taste bred the fall of a Man
my ear drums five beats to Your one breath
as ribbons of verses weave inside my head
standing,
i kneel and pilot a kiss to Your feet
recoiling meaningless words from my lips to repeat
i want to tell You i love You and mean it true,
truly
i want You to move in my heart and control me,
move through me
my lips bleed frustration through all the chapped metal
redemption flows freely from slick red rose petals
a home full of daggers and a bed full of lies
i can’t bring myself to sleep with You tonight
where are You now when i've no Father to my time
You once sent me a Savior now send me a sign
that everything You could have but didn’t prohibit
will soon abscond my life and but take me with it
