A hidden gem.
"Yes! Grant some assurance
that I will not be blown out like
a match that has been struck against Your careless heel
to light Your mysterious purposes a little while;
that I am not
Merely one more inexplicable pimple
upon the cosmos.
Why am I here if I
must pose such questions to the darkness
whence no heavenly fire consumes my offering.
No property of an Amen ends my prayer.
I stumble from
this wrong room while my apologies
freeze my tongue tight."
From "embarrassed"
