Apostle

He exited
An exposed drainage tunnel

Shadowed and
Ashen skin
Cut to Scars

By voices
Free to speak
From what he read

When he treads
He passes with her
Held close in
And out of view

Out of his eyesight
But in his whispered prayer

With boulders like knuckles
He holds his brow
And waits with her
In his brain

A slow forged sage
With a delicate spot
Harder than war
Longing to bring her home
