a prayer please

He said Your name

 

as He reached for me, reached for the child

who He says unbuckled His pride and knelt

with sin and sweat (or is that blood?) on her back.

His reverence pleasured itself against the length of her throat

she left her mouth agape,

gagged to submission

but he wouldn't know the better.

 

and as He sunk deeper, wounded me, and sunk deeper still,

soul scorched under his Divinity and Damnation,

 

He said Your name.

 

in that moment, oh God oh God oh God

did You forgive Him?
