  • Another mystery:

    You made yourself man-sized,                               
    a fleshing in of infinity;                                           
    the secrets of origin folded
    in and under your skin.
    The whole weight of creation contained
    in a single, boundless man.
    A carrier of Sovereignty.

    You turned everything around
    in the melding of an antiphonal
    God-man. In the Word’s wordplay,
    paradoxes abound;
    The I AM 
    comfortable with dichotomy,
    yoking wisdom and foolishness,
    inverting logic 
    and transposing majesty.

    And so I’m held
    in the cleft of your belly button
    and find my refuge in the curve of your back.
    Your shoulder is a banner
    over me; your ear-lobe, my strong tower.
    I shall abide under the shadow of your
    Adam’s apple and find my rest
    on the edge of an eyelash.
    In your punctured palm I find my fortune 
    and beneath your broken feet 
    I find my liberty.

    My God-riddled, Man-God,

    Glory Be.
