incarnate

in perfect word, you spoke it all. life incarnate in your breath. a spoken world, a blooming word, breath begotten; word made flesh.

in poison lies we broke it all and kissed lips of death. a shadowed world, a broken word, darkness dawns as death meets flesh.

with broken cries; awoke it all, the darkness could not rest. awaiting world, a promised word, heaven’s begotten word made flesh.

in haunted moans; choked for all,

we strangled out heaven’s breath. a wicked world, a wounded word. life incarnates the flesh of death

but with a word, waking all a flattened lung finds breath. a shaken world, resounding word, new life is birthed from death.
