Holy of Holies

ekulu by ekulu · Oct 7, 2002 · 147 views · Journal

you reach into the colescent place

hands quivering and cold from the search

a holy hollow heaven rises in the veins

of fingers past shock and trembling

with which i paruse various states of being

only to find my soul derobed and vacant

brittle and vulnerable scars from past wars

upon crying skin

that reaches up to a father

who resides in a sky too close to touch

and the words are written upon him

his eyes a scroll, his hand full of ink-like blood

and the words, the words he hears

something like "i'm sorry", rings through his bones

and makes him free

before the sky to see the sign

scrawled out in amongst placated clouds

the word

"forgiven"
