The question is one of ashes and dust
Christian Century, Nov 29, 2005 by Jill Alexander Essbaum
The question is one of ashes and dust It is not my name, which you have already inked into one interminable book or the other. Also, not what virtue I've claimed to store up in two unrelenting fists. Also, not the hands which wrap around them, these hands from which I feed, strong though they are, but defiled. On the Eve of the End of it All, it is only this: how my lips catch fire, how I burn exactly, an effigy in my heart, awful as an offering. How the darkness blesses its shadow as the indigent lauds his begging bridge. How like a virgin I've trimmed my wick. How well I can wrestle your mystery to the ground, Angry Angel. How I blunt my feathers on the blade of your tooth. How I bleed like Christ through the white of my dress, my fingers so steady, so stained.
