  1. Petulant priests, greedy
  2. centurions, and one million
  3. incensed gestures stand
  4. between your love and me.
  5. Your agape sacrifice
  6. is reduced to colored glass,
  7. vapid penance, and the
  8. tedium of ritual.
  9. Your footprints yet
  10. mark the crest of
  11. billowing seas but
  12. your joy
  13. fades upon the tablets
  14. of ordained prophets.
  15. Visit us again, Savior.
  16. Your children, burdened with
  17. disbelief, blinded by a patina
  18. of wisdom,
  19. carom down this vale of
  20. fear. We cry for you
  21. although we have lost
  22. your name.
