Rename This Church Poem by Stefanie Fontker
Rename This Church
All sins may be named virtuous.
Sometimes to etch a touch into skin
Is the only way to truly repent.
The first pain is quick and sharp
But dirty revolutions are formed,
And it all feels like dying and being reborn.

Dark and sensitive, totally perfect. I love this poem of frustration and pain.

That first stanza does it for me, its brief but it conveys complete impact of what sounds like pain layerd with an element of enlightened cynicism. Great stuff
