I am the shoes upon your feet

Layers

All these little, private moments
all these tiny prayers
all these ways you layer me
God upon God upon God

You cover over all depths

You cover over all depths
sink into all horizons
saturate the rain, anointing

I do not reward perfection

Posted on September 30, 2014 by Meisaan Chan
 
I do not reward perfection –
A heart cracked and glued and stitched
that can still reveal itself to me
that is what I want;
the perpetual return
the endless path to softening

Insomnia

Posted on September 26, 2014 by Meisaan Chan
 
In the middle of the night
endless arms stretch in all directions
the eternal, dark cradle;
God, help me stop fighting
help me give into your warmth

The moment you’d turn your face from me

Posted on September 25, 2014 by Meisaan Chan
 
The moment you’d turn your face from me
my soul would suffocate
the umbilical cord snapped

My Lord is on the way

Posted on September 22, 2014 by Meisaan Chan
 
My Lord is on the way
for in my darkness, I cried out
from my depths, I screamed
and across the void he’s fleet-foot running:
my Lord is on the way
