Unclean
liow little those thinas matter to me which once were in the
forefront, forebrain of mlJ vision split decision,
and so we face the final and we'll (won't we?)
be araded on a curve, the final curve,
liis perfection makes ours worthless
liis sacrifice proves us priceless
and our filthlJ raas are all we have
as thelJ crumble through our finaertips
muddlJ, mildewed, and stained with
the cleanest filth we have to show,
But God commended,
mlJ heart is mended,
mlJ soul befriended,
mlJ psalm 1ll1ended,
as lie runs and falls on mu neck
and kisses me, because I'm free
cradles me, because I'm healed
stretches out liis arms, because I'm lost
and naiisthem there until I'm found/
holds them there so I'll be
found around red drops bled drops tear drops just stop
three dalJs, eternities later here Iam (understand?)
me neither, but lie loved me first
and that's all Ineed to know.
