I Wake and Feel the Fell of Dark, Not Day

scared and shocked face, collage, modern art

I am gall, I am heartburn. God's most deep decree
Bitter would have me taste: my taste was me;
Bones built in me, flesh filled, blood brimmed the curse.

Selfyeast of spirit a dull dough sours. I see 
The lost are like this, and their scourge to be
As I am mine, their sweating selves, but worse. 

-- Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844 –1889)
