Photograph courtesty of Jason EvansATONEMENT OF ATOMES
on that dark day
of the crucifixion
the sky opened up
and the moon
illuminated our sins
was it sweat or blood
that ran that day
was the altar marble
or pale cold skin
why still the darkness
creates our shroud
that hangs off beaten bones
and stirs us to awaken now
as undivided atomes
we were electrified
by an Ionic Savior
his words in us were charged
did not we feel them
stirring in our wombs and
burning in our hearts
we lost an electron
on the midnight road
but in our souls we keep
electricity to light the way
and tears of blood to weep.
