Glory B from Javelin by Jordan Klassen

Son, lift your head up
It’s gaining, it’s going somewhere
Son, shift your halo
It’s feigning, it’s pulling your hair

Before the roots grew tight around the offers of your love
Before you lay your body on the thoughts your thinking of

Hold your memory up to the light

There was a morning, a wedding, a drawing of you
There was a dying, beheading, the ash of the ruse

Before you move so quickly as to chalk yourself undone
Before you fill your belly with the stories that you’ve spun

Hold your memory up to the light

And when you glow like the day
When you float like the rain in summer
You cannot say
That you never have tasted glory
