bone collects wisdom becomes wisdom
it holds upright becomes upright
bone creates and re-creates
it creates blood becomes blood

what if God looked ahead
saw that Adam
who received the Breath of Life
was the only one who also was
the first one to have the Blood of Jesus
run down the cross on to his skull

bone becomes blood
blood becomes breath
breath is blood is bone
