Martyrdom

I walked out

I walked towards a house of horror

And ate at its gates for many years

They gouged out my eyes

And made me bleed rivers of blood from my mouth

They drove six large spikes into my skull

So as to affect my mind with horror

They dragged me listless and faint through a dark street

And crucified me on a steel beam

By welding my risks and my ankles to its scaffolding

I hung there while I was alive

And when they discovered that my body could not stop producing blood like a river from my eye sockets

And from my gaping mouth

They electrocuted me

And I disappeared from my steel crucifix

To wander the universe with God

I still wander the world to this day

And when I ascended like my Lord

From out of my invisible tomb

I did not smell of smoke from a furnace

Therefore my oil is as clear as water

And it flows like gentle wind

Singing in a tempest

The martyrdom of Hineni

Amen
