“I Take You, I Take You In” (22 Years without Communion, 52 Without)

KATIE PARROTT | OXFORD I take communion for you Unleavened body, in your stead Two discs, the flesh - the bread Two cups, the blood - the wine I hold them, put them inside.

I take baptism for you Holy spill around me laps My prostrate form collapsed Sublimed hands hold misdeeds down Our whetted souls by God be found.

I take you with me in prayer Sweet smoke, your name to Her Petition of sweetgrass and myrrh For all things past, and close to come Our hands clasped in unison.

I take you to the altar Our lust, burnt sacrifice On Eden skin those doves alight First fruits lain, the Spirit groans Worship rises from our bones.
