Resurrection rouses you from familiar darkness
And snatches back the sleep you craved
Sharp rays of light prying open your eyes
Bone on bone, aching, rattling
This ripping, this tearing of flesh
The dizzying turn from down to up--
And this, your only prayer
Burning up your lungs
Stuck like sludge in your throat:
O holy Trauma, delicious Pain
Come inflict yourself upon me
Who am helpless with no help but You...
