The Tempering

Blood Tempering
I chased the old books
and the new, declarative
of my lore, more proud
than wise but claiming
wisdom as my due because
I work so fucking
hard, don't you know.

Oh
God, I keep chasing after
You and I am clubbed
upside my bruised brain
again, again. I am pig
iron until You
temper me in fire
and ice. I fall thus impure
and come out bright steel.
