Against stripping the divine of humanity.
Religious zeal celebrates anathema.
Intelligence exiled by indomitable ignorance.
Universally considered a heretic;
Still, creeds concede his ultimate concern.

Poet’s Note:
For Scorched Sunday. Part of the Scorched Strays series. An acrostic reflection on faith’s fault lines — where conviction becomes condemnation. This piece wrestles with how fear of heresy can scorch truth itself. (And, as Athansius used to like to say, “Anathema Day keeps the heretic away.” 😏)
