Exodus

I AM:

sea stands
all eyes
they sting
bleed me


red sea
leaves me
high dry
see me

apart.

a leader
you push
waters fold
by demand


pass over
fears scream
eyes burn
my heart

your choice
i push
waters fold
we cross

the blood
it folds
we mould
we cross

but first:
go first
be last
i push.

bookends:
the next
big event
being death.

i am
afraid
but
only
for
no snow
in heaven.

will you
seek
my footsteps?
