It doesn’t interest me
if you are pious or proper,
or even if you follow the rules.
It’s time for a kitchen table talk.
I want to know if you will commit
to listen and sit,
naked of desire,
just as you are.
I want to know if you have the stamina of soul
to bear the Divine fully pressing against,
your annihilation a certain result.
I want to know if you will give all that you’ve got.
Yes, even that secret stash of desires,
where you can’t even breathe
as you consider their loss.
Free falling into mystery,
enveloped in love,
I want to know
are you in it or not?
Sophia Brothers Peterman
