waking in a body that will not rise
there's just one thing
that i needed
to know
when i forgot
to capture my shadow
did it grow
into darkness
alone
and transparent
when i refused
to accept the gift
i held
my father's regard
unknown
and demanding
doubt swelled
into tears
sharing
his farewell
when i ignored
the choir's words
my heavens
i could not walk
beyond
the threshold
to make amends
with my unconscious god
by releasing
his demons
