We,
the children of incarnation,
hereby declare
that we are not one,
but many.
We are composite;
we are alloy.

Pure? No, never.
Emphatically.

We are the cross-bred children
of the cross-bred children,
of the original parents–
the melding of divinity and humanity,
as was intended,
as was anticipated.

We,
are
the children
of messy, messianic incarnation.

Alleluia!
