Ephah
9-29-14

It is the same with our sin
The dead man still wants to win
Come one ephah
Come one more hin
I put on another pot of black silk
According to consumers of my own kin
In the lazy water meadow
To live out what we take in
I was once as darkness
And now I am light
Come these particular statements
I ask, O what is going right
As I scribble these words
For the cause of moving onward
Straight through into the night
Come goodness, righteousness and truth
Not according to the contrast of black and white
It is the same
So we are yet to find....




What's Right (part 2)
9-29-14

Come these parenthetical statements of due praise
I go back on the dayjob
In dreams of getting a raise
Where I will do just this
For the rest of my natural life
Of sweet days by his life, burial and resurrection
We find that it pays
Where light exposes the darkness
By just being right here and now
It's about what he has done
Not what you can do of yourself
Nor of the how
As so we get to be this light
In asking, O what is going right
O, what's right....
