 how many men who love you
have you saved?
how many have been crucified?
how many have been deep inside you?
where flesh is burned off spirit
by your fire
when every way
has been examined
when every desperate prayer
has been cried out to heaven
from a broken heart
when every drop of blood
has fallen to the ground
from every wound
spoken by every idle tongue
when moments of silence
waiting for your answer
seem like eternity
and the pounds per square inch
of reality
crush bone
this is the place
this is the time
when only the promise
of who you are remains
faithful.
