Atonement

by Sadie bishop   Sep 20, 2012


An abomination dying
miserable despised blind
snatched from her.
Free fall from grace
filthy wings tattered
folded in shame
humbled she gives away
collapsing,
crumbling in on herself repentance,
salty on her tongue,
trembling prostate in its presence
her redemption comes for her.
on the first rays of dawn
speared by the divine
she is penetrated
by light
awaking her slumbering soul
tearing it wide open
searching her broken depths
harvesting the dark
there it invokes the essence of her aliveness
tearing the veils of her reality away
all of her cells scream for second life
she rushes towards the surface
exploding through
a thousand shards that glisten on
her skin
first breath
nourishing moist earth
pregnant with salvation
awash in all
the universe.
