Clergy Sex Abuse
I don’t know how to sound
Holier than thou
When thou art rancid hate
And destruction of a soul
It happened to me
It happened to you
I know some of the names
Maybe you do, too
They truck with intimacy
Allowing it to slip from God
Into human spirits
Trusting
Even to think the pastor boring
Well, there is another kind
Earth weeps enough
And why would God need more tears
From God’s own
Relegated
Abrogated
To the underside of things
Unto the part of us that’s shocked
Broken
Alone

HeartBroken – Tears are the Baptism of Soul
