ABOUT-FACE
by Samantha Borders-Shoemaker
Turn
hide your face from it
brutality and practicality
do not cover the shame.
In and out
He breathes selah
amid blade wounds.
Turn
tell your neighbor
gas bombs don’t matter
as long as you’re not late to tea.
In and out
He begs selah
amid blood and sweat.
Turn
see the man
in and on the tree
but protect yourself instead.
In and out
he chokes alle- halle- lujah
while breath crushes chest.
Turn
and look at yourself
in wonder, in horror
you who are just, just.
In and out
once for the last
to finish the conversation divine.
Pause
see the Godflesh that
came before you
for you.
Out from below
to come overhead
He bonded us in liberating affection.
He that died saw
He that conquered disinfected
He that lives extracts
us toward rescue.
