for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.

Genesis 22: 12-13

Text: 

sweet quartz clink, these lovely cages 
like pin-creases through us both, first me, then him 
then me - how charming, silent brown-eyed boy 
stuporing his eyelashes down like tiny keys 

      I. Sobre todas las cosas, no hacer daño 

I have enchanted. one throws up his arms in 
success, then later, as if pressed flat by the smoking 
jackets, the mascara, the slow trace of his jawline, 
in agony. tell me with your hands of your heart 
as if he were ivory and string, hammer fingered 

     II. Sobre todas las cosas, no hacer daño 

I sing you back in shivers of applauding skin 
around the grand space in your core, and you look 
as if you have lifted the lid of the dark and found 
all the ways a man can explode when touched too gently 

     III. Sobre todas las cosas, no hacer daño 

my friend, my dearest friend 

- April Egan
