I can no longer breathe.  The toxins
    of Eden’s decay is a fall out.
    Destruction is all around and
    clouds consume the light.

I kneel at man’s water colors of what your
    face could have radiated as the
    radiation of the fall of man chokes –
        my prayer.

Women crying on steering wheels
     from children’s cancer bills,
     celebrities dancing with serpents,
     men kneeling at money-cloaked breasts –

In the midst of it all, I seek to be clad in
     your collar.  Separated to Save a Thousand Souls.

But who am I to answer your call
    with the thorns of Eden in
     my side?

Shovel out my doubt and I will bleed Your
    Mercy as my heart drips love
    that will feed Your sheep.
