Blood-Real

Those who reflect on idealisations
Inspite of themselves
Commit
Brutalisations

But Jonah
Consummed in the guts of the whale
Found guts of his own
When spewed out
Small and pale

And staggered
But firm
On the ground he could feel
Found God
Though in heaven
On earth
Is blood real.

  1. I love the fact that God accepts us where we're at… staggering on the firm ground. It reminds me of the fact that Christ is the solid rock on which we stand. He's so real. Blood real.
