the left ear is a chasm
denying entry to this
bare skull
the right ear is a ledge
in love with god’s
ancient temples
how bright their alters
kneel before the blood
falling from our lips
as altitude unearths
man until all sound is
distortion
tuned toward the
kingdom whose
rumored resistance
rings high in the bell towers
at the insistence of
foreign tongues
