Dude, from one geek to another: are there any better genres to geek out about? Every word is significant! ♥
And this is gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. The second stanza in particular:
I want to be bruised by God. I want to be strung up in a strong light and singled out. I want to be stretched, like music wrung from a dropped seed. I want to be entered and picked clean.
It reminds me of one of my favorite poets, Finnish-Swedish Edith Södergran. Assertive and exhilarating, if that makes sense.
