So you cede yourself to obey your Father because to be a Daughter means to be the Inaugural slaughter & to become the sacrament you have to be holy. But you have always been unclean ungodly the fat of your wounds uncut your prayers as fatuous as the unhealable mark on your chest from where the dagger cut you open that day on the mount. Forget the uneaten ram, forget Abraham's command, forget the fact you had to kneel on the concrete floors of your home day after day before a Prophet whom you called Father left you to be saved by a seraph, left you to carry the augury of fear. You can run from where you were born & never turn back, you can undo prophecy & run to a place where the flowers of pastures are freshly wet, run as far as the wound can stretch & make the story your own.
