Pierce

did Christ just go out for a walk
or was he looking for a sign?

I became a wave
circling still

I would like to be a sharpened quiver
in my place cutting unbelief and self-disapproval

when he turned back did He look to see who was watching?
on a sea of torrent and black

His path became an unseen shadow on the sea floor
shining bright as the day-lit stars
(can you perceive them?)
With seven divisions
between earth
beneath the ocean & the expanse star spread overhead

I collect light & burn

I realized that I became a moving wave circling still beneath His feet

I strive to be a sharpened arrow in this place
piercing self loathing & divorce of unity with humanity

Did He Know they'd be watching?
Did Peter expect His invitation?
