Grace now

grace now


 

delicate the demand in me

and oh how sovereign

it runs raging, relent

until it finds the margins

of silence


 

grace

this is my substitute

the breast in holy metaphor

it is suckling and nesting

to give suck

suck

i thread an ancient chord

it is an undone umbilicus

substrata in a void

and i am the neophyte

without and within

the supple sounds


 

it is holding a hand

and letting it slip

and wanting it again
