He came to me in his frontal-parietal-temporal-occipital-cerebellum mantle, the wispy wool of his scalp bleached like the heavens he separated from the Earth, from me.
I could not come to Him.
For the seam in my side sang its dirge for its stolen eleventh son, and how could I come to His perfection in my incompleteness, with this forbidden fruit under my larynx at which Wisdom should weep, but she does not?
Before I took my first breath, I tasted His in my mouth, His lips molding to mine, but the spark between my finger and His digitus paternae dexterae asks if I am made in His image anymore.
