~ A Subversive Opus by Cara

I love the fall from grace

I love the out of sync

and the doubt

And asymmetry

and the just-a-little, little off

to which I had no resistance

hellbent on my imminent death

in my weakness

in the darkness

faith put to the test

with a living dose

of heavenly strength
