🌅 Psalm 5: I Lay It All Before You

(retransmitted by Virgin Monk Boy before sunrise, barefoot, grumpy, and already forgiven)

Psalms For The Unraveling

1
Give ear to my breath
Give shape to my silence
You know what I mean before I can say it
You know what I fear before I admit it

2
You are not a god who needs groveling
You are the pulse beneath my panic
The Presence that waits for me to stop performing

3
In the morning I turn toward you
Not to impress you
But to exhale

I lay it all out
my confusion
my craving
my should-have-beens

And then I wait
not because I am holy
but because I am tired

4
You are not entertained by cruelty
You are not flattered by self-righteous noise
Arrogance cannot stand in your light
It has no legs
only projections
