Un-god me.

Bleed me for ghosts

and drink what seeps out

of the cut.

Tell me my name

and make me swallow it,

un-god me —

steal the breath of God

right out of my lungs.

[nathanielorion]

O child of God, tell me / which you fear more: / the prayer or the answer? / God is not light-footed, / so which is more terrible? / The cry or the echo?

Nathaniel Orion G. K. (via nathanielorion)
