in a riot of leaves
in a cloud of exhaust
you showed me three ways
to get off a cross:
            like a thief
    like a thief
    and like a perhaps god

now old friends see a phantom
an old lover does too
and I’ve lost whatever charm it was
that got me to you

but if this is just another cross
I’ll be more careful when I choose
until I’m god enough to handle
these resurrection blues

Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things,
man will not himself find peace."
