SPECTACLES If you'd let me, how I would have loved you, clumsy Grace: unearthly force flying through; air like the Father. Of the universe, you could have been. I've seen your head scrape heaven but it didn't. Fool me, brother. Spread my insides. Like jam upon my skin: the spectacle of your unworthiness. The spectacle of your unworthiness spread my insides like jam upon my skin, but it didn't fool me brother; I've seen your head scrape heaven. You could have been like the father of the universe: flying through air-- unearthly force, clumsy grace. How I would have loved you if you'd let me. ©mbscarpa2014 Form: lines in second half of the poem are identical to the first, but in reverse. Punctuation and capitalization can be changed.
