faithache
(on listening to johann sebastian bach 24/7)
a new ravine opens
blue-black with mist, coniferous
vociferous to trumpets
a preying bird traces
coiled springs of air
unfurling

incantation
cresting exaltation
breathless
crick-necked, agape – again!
until i ache
surfeit: union
pure.
a meek surrender:
if this is faith
i cannot reach
