Erudite Again
11-27-17

On our valid path
For ones pallid wrath in season to him whom is heavy
He maketh my ear to hear as the learned mind
Acquainted by experience of study
Where the cross is still bloody fashion of good yet unknown
To those that cut down trees
Well-informed that an indoor cat won't get fleas
Knowing yet the millionth part of what we own
While sitting on gold in mourning sash of lavendar
Through a sudden riff and a special gift of praise twas thine to pour
Speaking a word in due season
Where justified are gamblers and whores
Academic and theoretical primarily vocational and applied
Lacking in worldliness
We aim for the spiritual
Upon our next cross
Soon we travel west....




On Isaiah 51:1
11-27-17

Words are as bread
Even when curds are quite dead
Academic and theoretical
Walk in the light of your fire
And in the sparks ye kindle
Where ye are hewn yet brackish and briny
Yet tenacious and tiny
Of solution saline and grass still green
Approaching Solstice as to open my ear and make a choice
That there is nothing but God to fear
O, great Sister can you lend me a hand
Hearken, O ye whom seek to cast the dice
No longer disgraceful nor even wasteful
When it all goes somewhere anyway
I win again strong in numbers
In dazzling day bursts out turn in time
Brackish....
