I am wrong in my flesh for being.
There is no God in my exile, no father, no king.
I am uphill, the river running.
I am backward, I am wrong.
I am the living image of an unholy union.
I am alone in my thinking, ever twisted.
Touch me now with water.
See how dry I have become.
This to laughter, this to sorrow.
This to the infertile, all my tears.
A cup of gall, an angel's vow.
A whisper of sacrifice to come.
I am repentent and unforgiven.
I am what you say I am.
I am what should never have been.
