LION HEART
Two things they wanted
me to know
about God.
One, that their heel
was on His throat,
The second,
That their heel was on mine.
And I never thought of the second
playing into the first
or having
anything to do with God
at all,
but see,
Girl,
how my two
fingers
find your
pulse
when your
face goes still
and all hope
is placed
on layers of
pleura
and a God
who won't
be
tamed.
