challenge the triplet
by Hezekiah Allen Taylor

they say there is a trinity
a holy grouping
to save unholy me

but it's just not for me
it's all too solid, and yet
none-too-solid----
the faithful
and the faith

I don't have that sort of belief
I believe in one single thing:
how my heart beats loud enough
for me to know I'm alive
whenever I think---
for a single solitary second---
about touching you
