Quartered behind an old wall,
a light shone through a window is all,
saw seul avec Dieu,
projected against the wall.
Only as far as my arm can I see
how God is dressed, a woman to be,
only as far as my arm,
nothing else belongs to me.
Who know how often again
I'll watch these brimmed/plattered bald country heads
chain the Bible to their waists,
scratch themselves on a slate.
It wont be because we apostatized,
it will be a long time before our fear's metastasized,
it took until Callixtus to realize
that our backs were never pinned against the wall.
