You are either the closest to the Christ-Mind
than any of us will ever be,
or you are consumed by the idea of martyrdom.
Collecting the timber from broken chips and bent nails
rebuilding the Cross you bear.
Gathering the Wax and Feathers
for the Sun to melt and burn again
to remind you how to fly and fall.
If you need anyone to find the pieces of you
floating down the river,
look for me walking along the banks,
washing your armour in the company of crows,
watching for your crown.
And when its gold brushes my ankle,
I will fashion it into a cup
to hold the venom dripping down your brow.
Because I know a human like you,
like me,
can only endure so much.
