reverberate through my selfish desires
oh Named One.
bathe me in the excruciating love
thou hast blatantly ****** to the
lowered-gaze downtrodden

pawn my faults away
forever into spider traps
and replace them with whiffs
of your most diminutive grace

challenge my obstinate circles
with hushed psalms of beckon
that my nascent view may
broaden to allow your vividness

for my cells gasp for thy luster
as much as the nearest plant’s.
when I crane my neck
at an angle worthy of your scrutiny
may I also comprehend
the necessity of your doting severity
