Wrestling the Night

Wrestling the night

ragged

fringed

fire light

twisting

turning

churning

it’s a roiling thing

this toiling hymn I sing

scratching every surface

just to feel

my own pulsing blood race

to know

just to show

I’m still alive

I’m still

dear God

I’m still

wrestling the night
