John 8:7
A Stone's Weight
A private conviction,
a public persecution.
Ignorance was the rock
laced with anger’s fingerprints
hammering down on
delicate living tissue
sealing the blasphemy of
a hand’s fate.
(Are we governed by god or devil?
Are we lifted by hand or conscience?)
Put another stone
on the dignity of my breast;
I need more weight
until I can feel the truth--
I want to taste the gravity
of your haste.
Peine forte et dure--
(hard and forceful punishment)
Hand-prints left as
fossil bones in stone;
feudal memories
destroy thoughts
and their
heresy like a
double-edged sword.
