Introducing: Poetry Tuesday!

Each week we will have our members submit a poem based on a prompt. We will then randomly choose one of the pieces and share it here and on our Instagram!

This week the prompt was: A Poem of Place

---

This Poetry Tuesday our winner is Selfish Desires by Karina Saenz 

Place upon my hands

Your own

So that our flesh may touch

And our blood find rhythm

So that I may pull you closer 

Until our veins intertwine

And we are but one

Place upon my hands

Your head

So that I may cradle it

And hold it to my chest

So that you may hear the beating

Of this unruly organ

And hear its prayer

Place upon my hands

Your sins

So that I may love them

And absolve you of such agony

So that your repentance will be mine

Beholden only to my tender mercy

And never to anothers

Place upon my hands

Your soul

So that I may treasure it

And unburden your cage of flesh and bone

So that it may fall away

Never again teaching you of carnal pain

And forever in my care

And the prompt for next weeks Poetry Tuesday is: A Poem About Growing
