Christ’s dead face had once influenced night,
his weird eyes laughing in Corinthians.
That proselytizer's dream of acceptance had left.
As a writer she knew words would one day mean trouble.
Those that made livings of colors,
they said, “Come warm woman, musician of flesh,
rise up out of the leaves.”
They would resurrect her that way,
in all their lurid paintings.
