Of Flesh and Blood

I love you more than I ever thought
I loved Jesus
even when he was more real than an
abstraction memorized
in Sunday school
like the night I saw him watching over me
glowing with thorns
and tender eyes
I love you more than the God I learned
and imagined
sobbing for the sins
washed away
as ego drowned
and truth held onto a tree
waiting for a helicopter
I love you the most
even though I know
you would never forgive me
for being Judas in smeared lipstick
crawling in
at six
a.m.
