An altar of bones

An Altar of Bones

            It will not out of the flesh, that’s bred in the bone.

                        —J. Heywood, Dialogue of Proverbs, ii. viii. K2 (1546)

Moonlit thanks

Paper joy

We are an altar of bones.

Put on that fragile flesh

Then wear it well.

For Love invites a life

fully inhabited.

Prophesy this:

The incarnation

is the resurrection.

The resurrection

is the incarnation.
