FOURTEEN LOSING HIS SHIT AND POUNDING ON THE WALLS IN GENUINE ANGER AND EXASPERATION AFTER THE CONVERSATION HE HAD WITH NO-THING DONNA HE HAD ABOUT THE FLUX/DESTRUCTION OF THE UNIVERSE AND THEN PAUSING AND SAYING "good" TO ACKNOWLEDGE TO HIMSELF THAT HE *CARES* AND HAS ENOUGH EMOTION TO KEEP GOING AND HASN'T NUMBED OUT YET WHICH HE'S DONE IN THE PAST TO PROTECT YET ALSO ISOLATE HIMSELF

Ecstasy of St Teresea by Gian Lorenzo Bernini

No need to be coy—

you know what

she’s doing

And so did Bernini,

when he found Teresa

in the full-throttle of

her divine vision,

caught her at it,

carving this surrender

so fluidly you expect

the impossible:

for her tang to swell up, ripe

as seafoam, from the gulf

of her flushed and falling

figure. Perhaps this is how

God comes to us,

or should come to us, all:

the bluntly and

beautifully corporeal at

prayers in the Sunday

school of pleasure. Why

shouldn’t He come to us

as He did to Teresa? A saint

on her back—

a girl tearing open

the gift He gave her?
