Divinity and dust come face to face.
We flinch back from his via dolorosa,
He sets his face like flint and takes our place,

@badbadpoet I always select different poems to read aloud than I would if I were sharing them solely on the page. As you say, it needs to be more immediate & I think, much easier to comprehend as a whole. I’ve heard excellent page poems read & been left with a series of disconnected images.
