By sheer ignorance
I towed a dream pigment
Toward the wrong side of dawn
T’was my first dalliance
With despair

The threshold of childhood
In the winter of innocence
Bitterly time wept
Like a hogtied wind.

Long before we met, I already
Decided not to have anything to do
With your ethos;
You’re an entity belonging to the heights
Of heaven;
Beyond the dreams of mortals
Yet, despite those unreachable ranges
Our paths in ways coincidental
Cross …
If my time to carry the cross comes
Allow me to do it without the presence
Of any multitude
All the beatings… the spittings
The spears
The thorns
I’ll receive them secretly
In the dark
Please don’t let me see

It’s naked reality-
Man suffers from the fatal ailment
Of genesis-the safety valve of creation
Serving as guardian
Against theologies of pagans,
Uprisings of gentiles, heresies

It was worse in your heart

Like they did once with Pompeii
I wasn’t there when they publicly displayed
Their faith and professed obedience to your cross

Jesus,
You showered me with talents
Too much for me to handle

Jesus,
You filled my life …

Blow a vernal wind into my motionless spirit
Sketch upon the centerfold of my conscience
Even just an illusion of my being

Rugged edges of my existence
Sprinkle some …
By heritage
We cross bridges of sand
As we carry our burdens alone,
Seldom a dove offers a song
To lull our weary souls.
Savagery isn’t just a feature of the serpents
It’s everybody’s last defense
For even in the galaxies
