he withdrew
for a secluded moment
his memory holier than before
for attendant drew the breath of god
like a soul mantel's sanctity
transcendent and illumined
with manifold epiphanies
he remembered the chamber
and the pleading, oh the pleading
beating stubbornly in the grey matter
beating within the bloody flesh
the searing mnemonic
like a grace deferred
and he held it there
as if all were within its ambit
all within its hallelujah sphere
and without surprise
he knew this, this
he would rather succumb, than exhale
