Imagine Augustine reading
man is a robbed
godimage grounded
stole soul-
vation beyond him
Aquinas echoing
Calvin's galvanised
absolute reprobate:
Arminius' protest
this is horror
God's not evil
as Tuesday from Monday steps
Maundy from Wednesday:
time footstepping passion this
holy week: I
eyeing crucified history,
wholly weak. 
Thank you for restacking this poem @Margaret Ann Silver and also for saying the final lines are beautiful. It’s an allusive, “difficult” poem, I know, so I’m doubly and trebly grateful. 🙏
