Then I Was Made Whole Poem by Michael Burch
Then I Was Made Whole
Rating: ★5.0
... and then i was made whole,
but not a thing entire,
glued to a perch
in a gilded church,
strung through with a silver wire:
singing a little of this and of that,
warbling higher and higher:
a thing wholly dead
till I lifted my head
and spat at the Lord and his choir.
