Poetry Corner: Elijah

Liana Ruppert
Jul 13, 2023

Are you Elijah,

raining from the fire

to Become.

Are you alive

in this dream?

Or are you

just now Awakening.

Are you Elijah,

just as I am

Skin alive with this sting.

Then we become

what we Are.

And we are,

burning alive with this sting.

Are you what you are,

only to become what I see?

If we do become —

holy in what we can’t see.

Then we are,

what we are,

and everything then becomes seen.

Coming alive

in this scene,

all we are —

are you Elijah?

are you Elijah with me?
