that god gave his only begotten son
is known in scripture a fevered sweet prayer
his body leaves split palms voice like a gun
dense with meaning his forest he vine-strung
but burning suffering you cannot bear
that god gave his only begotten son
his wick snipped tremoring candle wax flung
of a god drenched in sweat like braided hair
his body leaves of split palms voice a gun
shimmering earth clouds of nausea he hung
nails gnawing gathered moaners unaware
that god gave his only begotten son
arms sawed branches bones eggshell from sun
ragged eyes that implode their final stare
his body falls from palms voice like a gun
twilight is a garden marble icon
of jove thundering righteous unaware
that god gave his only begotten son
body of leaves split his palms voice a gun
