you and I
church and people
if I am the church
relationship
ego
there's this question
this tie
does it bind?
love / hate
one or outside?
marketed healer
but basal pangs
censure cure
we are a mass
of entangled threads
and I am the tilted cog
in it's heart
slowing it down
to bicycle speed
lagging with clarity
if I am the church
where is the steeple?
my love for the church
deep, abiding
we generate this
I fashioned the center
I begrudge
my own heart
in it's study
this oscillating story
like biblical narrative
set in vibrancy
sensitive by creation
called to bloom in it's center
if I am the church
