Revelation leads to revolution, Or isn't much of anything at all. So must faith evolve into religion, Having need of hands to break its fall. Here we have a chance to reconsider, As we go through rites as brisk as breath, Salvaging a soul that else were bitter, Here alone, for nothing else but death. All our love and wonder needs a Name, Not least to be the witness of our shame As we recite our sins again, again, Hallowed by our passion and our pain.
