A Sacred Sickness

There is a sacred sickness in the Scriptures

A restlessness that permeates the cosmos
Whose legion sorry spirits
Sometimes seek repose
In this very flesh
The flesh of sweats and sobs and short durations
Subject to corruption
Sensate dimensions recklessly related
An oddly corporeal refuge
A momentary hideout for the soul
Available to all that flee
Dysfunctions in the Word
The holy narrative
Of discontents and very little grace
Our only version
Of all that might have been
There is some hope the
Publisher may mount
A next edition
New and thoroughly revised
