White like the spit from offended mouths, I promise I am pure. As holy as my baptism candle, I drip. Drip with the complexity of a dainty schoolgirl. White, I am whole. Dear God and I’m sorry mom, I’ve been asking for forgiveness but I wish I had something that I had done wrong. I am pure. The purest of them all He chose me. Titled me messiah and gave me the power to declare those who are unworthy. My breath is white like the smoke that engulfs my family like Waco. Everything’s bigger in Texas. White heat, this is exactly what they needed. Sent the beauty of ivory angels to be kissed by sacred sun. My white knuckles clenched the matchbox, but I promise there was no hesitation. As the sky turned the perfect shade of alabaster, I watched my own personal Mount Sinai burn with the white light of the Lord smiling down on me.
