a god that can’t be chewed is not a god. we consecrate with lips and teeth and transubstantiate as soon as we consume; by we (of course) we two, and god between each taste, immaculate and bruised the blue of saintly eyelids clenched sublime in scaffold prayer. except
your touch is not a purging, not a cleansing; every chunk of skin worn sweetly raw bears witness more succinctly than a hymn, & any child can tell you that it doesn’t exist unless it fits in your mouth. we understand by devouring, grinding, taking until the divine can fit behind our ribs
