Everything that you want is on the other side of fear- George Adair


Where else could I kneel?
All the temples are stone
All the carved wooden saints
guard an army of bone
All my prayers, they echo
beneath concrete trees
a shattered glass sepulcher
under my knees

My spine is a fortress
unguarded, my breast
an asylum for any
who come seeking rest
my hands a communion
a doctrine unmade
Come show me the softer ways
penance is paid
