Invited to the banquet
A baptism of suffering
A twisting of the nails
Exposure
———
Offering luscious fruits
Spices of your garden
A silver salver of wisdom
Thorns and briers
———-
You want me to agree
Recant my position
Compromise my beliefs
Apostatize
———
A ripening of eloquence
Bereft of decision
Your golden bowls
Of myrrh
———-
Alone in a empty room
Desperate for a path forward
A sip from the crimson stream
Agony’s fountain.
