Sacrifice
[by S. David] [art by Drew Tal]
True believer
True believer
There is no doubt
There cannot be
This is the world
Your world
There is no other
There cannot be
And the God
Sent down
His messenger
His hunting bird
His speaking bird
Bird of prophecy
Bird of what
Must be
And the God
Called you
Unto Him
And spoke
“For I want you
To come to me
A guarantee
For your people
Before your people
On their behalf
Bring yourself
Ascend to me”
And in the temple
The people watched
The pointed knife
In his hands
Descend
Set his spirit
Free
From his body
