"Project of grieving you/ Hurry up and leave/ so I can/ grieve you ..."
"prayers of Calcitrant" is a self-conscious poetry waiting for life to pass by so that it can have memories. Each poem within is as agitated as it is excitable - seeking God and Christ with a list of diligently self-indulgent and earnest questions. These are the questions no one is allowed to ask in church. They thrust the reader into a space where man seeks relationship over religion, though guiltily. "Calcitrant" pushes the comfortable secular into the personal space of Christian righteousness to see who will kiss the other first - and who will be the first to tell.
