temple and tomb
Awaken, sound, for I am holy
and I know you even if you don't know me
I am grateful for the experience
of feeling so utterly lonely
that the only noise my ears pick up
is that of the air I'm breathing
not even an old tree creaking
or well-worn faucet leaking
in this house both temple and tomb
where I'm the only thing that blooms
but salvation is what I'm seeking-
I am not okay with dying in this room
