I gasp and awake
feeling You turn over within me.
Robes fall apart
that were woven
with our blood and breath.
For a moment I am bereft
of my senses
only a howl of separation
slaps my head to the pillow.
I cover my heart
with a protecting palm.
I hear You whispering
out of my darkness:
Come bind Me quickly
to your flesh.
Let your hollow bones
be My voice
My life and love.
