The Art of David Wiley

Transubstantiation

The words will become air
      and water
      and wine
they will become ambrosia
      and manna
they will become fire
      and light.

But they will not become blood
      until the poets
      I'm holding hostage
      in my head
      have told me
      what I need to know.
