COLD TURKEY

I need breathing space


the strictures of the One

are too tight

too unyielding


and we are punished for being

merely human

as if our struggles against our wrongs

were not enough to placate a savage Ineffable...


and they are not...


I smother in the snares of perfection

we all do


and if grace is only obtained

by true repentance then what is it

but 'cease and desist'?


and to do that I need breathing space


the vague damning breathing space...
