salvation


if you ask
and i ask back


do you mean am i safe
as in safety safe
as in do i wear a helmet
that prevents debris
from falling and entering
that encapsulates
the poison in the head
 that makes me unsafe


naturally i  would say 
as in not condemned safe


or


do you mean am i saved
as if i am lost in the wilderness 
with the hounds in the dark menacing
and i crying out for help


naturally i would say
tis just aim and fire thats all


oh


if you mean 
am i salvated
as only the one can invent the intervention


sadly i could only say
i am only just 
on the first step
on my way
not your way
nor his way
nor our way


might be a leap
to the stars
or the other way
