Named a haunted heretic—
Effaced, entrails exploded—
Smeared across a spanless shadow.
Theotokos trapped Christ,
Offense taken to holy humanity,
Retribution was released
In spades upon questioners.
Universally despised for
Standing against savior sterility.

- Comment from author about the poem: For Scorched Sunday. Part of the Scorched Strays series. An acrostic reflection on faith’s paradoxes — and the cost of questioning what we hold sacred. This poem seeks not to challenge established doctrine; rather, to display how doctrine can be damning when mystery is reduced to certainty.

Those indoctrinated are rigid and brittle taking offense at any perceived pressure are intolerant of differences in their belief. I see metaphors in this poem of Christian beliefs. Well written
