    The poem you shared has a mysterious and introspective tone. The imagery of crumpled Bibles and hushed whispers evokes a sense of secrecy and contemplation. The repetition of "X" and the fragmented phrases create a feeling of uncertainty and searching. It seems like there's a deep exploration of faith and self-identity within the lines.
