Who chose you
O Dweller-in-hell,
Who chose you
as eternal symbol
of Face-turned-from-God?
Who chose you,
and if heaven began again
would you choose again the same?
How might heaven
Live eternally altered
In the light of your eyes
How might hell
Burn with different cruelty
under the will of another
Could mercy be gentler
or deceit more acidic
Love a greater burden
and lust like flaming oil
Or is the quality of human frailty,
the Echo-in-us-all,
Vastly the misunderstanding
of the immensity of our own choosing?
