Demands

I should like to be more demanding.
I should like to be many more things.
Let’s leave things at that.
 
Let me take your hand in my hand.
Maybe we can find a path through all the words.
Maybe we could bury all the cold, dead things.
 
Then wait to see if there’s a resurrection.
To declare what is true and what is not.
What I will ask of you is not the question.
