Fourteenth century definition declares
that which we make together
this communion of ours
holy by the consecration,
the sacrament
the oaths, prayers and promises
that you have no idea we're making.
As I pass pneuma from my shell to yours
You stop a kiss with firm closed lips.
I'm speaking a dead language.
Sacrament, from the late Latin,
sacrare. To consecrate. Consecrate, or to be dedicated to a sacred
purpose. Synonym: Blessed. Holy. Hallowed. This is what
lies between your gaze and mine. Heated. Synonym: Sacral.
This is the touch of my fingertips to your skin. Sanctified.
Synonym: Sacrosanct. This is the sacrament of our bodies. This is
the communion of our flesh. To officially make holy. I was baptized
in this too, if you'll recall.
