Your Cathedral

Wilfred O'Dea, c1910? ~ unknown

You draw from me broken now holy that yes

The Gemstone Line
How does it sound? Why does it work?
The poem
Walking in what I know is your cathedral now The stone work, the bird song The endless repatterning of leaves I move the way my prayer-kin move The trees Each rising hand reaching, each roaring lung breathing Each mind wide and opening The no of my hopelessness torn from my throat I am yes. You draw from me broken now holy that yes I am yes.
