if God granted gifts
of superpowers
i'd ask for
the laying on of hands
that one press of my palms
could set up a circuit
and like lightning
let loose
what's shut up in these bones:
the hard to articulate groan of
"it hurts here"
"it feels like this"
With hands on skin,
they'd finally be listening in
to a body breaking
entire internal
ecosysem earthquaking
with the potency of the Pentacost.
we'd be speaking in tongues
silent
and holy.
