the cost of heaven
I scoop her up
my two hands are open
let me drink
the soul of the earth
the spirit of wind
her heart wet and eternal
JESUS is on record
saying I am worth it
my edifice says
in delight “I am”
this entire city sees
my shape swallow us
in art and love
in love and attention
I’ll hold her in
I’ll hold her up
