pot luck salvation

stick and paper

church fans

depicting

abraham

slaying

isaac

blow

preacher’s words

through

stained glass

stained minds

i am five

maybe less

daddy just got saved

but will get lost in a canadian mist

i play possum

upon the

ancient

wooden

creaky pew

sunday dress supine

eyes

climbing the rafters

looking to escape

to anywhere but here

the woods behind the house

or the cornfield

and mom’s wrap around green skirt

as the ovine stand

and sing

what a day that will be

when my jesus

i shall see

when i look into his face

the one who saved me by his grace

and when he takes

me by the hand

and leads me to that

promised land

oh what a day

glorious day

that will be

primary

imprints

my skull

my brain

my soul

they were not

yours to

give to jesus

when i feel

lost again

shivering

in waxy

black closets

i wish for this moment

to be numb

naive

new

a happy

sweat covered

sleepy

day dreaming

sacrificial

little lamb

of

god
