corpus christi


By Jonathan Hunter-Kilmer

chew and swallow baby steps

hold and savor, mind progress

feel the melting taste convey

light from eyes to mouth to stay

soft the gentle message comes

born and bread my heartstrings thrums

making perfect absolute

pull at my soulas aflute

slowly down my throat You spin

skin and wine-made-blood begin

transform me as were transformed

in those hands hold You that formed

once before my mouth I kiss

then between lips soar tobliss

know and feel my soul to You

translate goldening the view

flash then permanent sunblind

out of universe alligned

take me where I long to be

liquid in Your body
