Of Star And Pearl
3-27-18

By Timotheus, Silvanus and Paul
We can have it all
We can look in the right places while it is still night
God's graces as toward of meaning unclear until known afresh
Nigh unto and namely of veto and vision and making a decision
Things of earth return to dust
Such as all desire and lust
Bold to suffer at Philippi
As ensamples at Achaia for almond blossoms budding
And torrential flooding
Expect a miracle and you will see her
By the side of destination and a truckload of books on the way
In my door, wait, little ship and drift in three hours get your lift
As ensamples at Macedonia to all that believe in something....





Groping
3-27-18

Groping ones way towards discovery
Be it according to His will carried forth to a place of martyrdom
To witness the tearing down of walls in tenement halls
As thoughts tread constantly and without boundary
After what you have seen all down the causeway beaten by the cut
As memories of table Miss Pac Man at Pizza Hut
Cast into banishment thirty days for bridges glowing behind us
In lawyers and judges and obliterating grudges as to submit to the common process
Of perfection to be made holy eventually
As we depart and go our separate ways
Bound with strong cords in a multitude of arrays
As bound with cords by sharpening swords
Groping.....





We Are Made Priests
3-27-18

Even as a great man fleeth
As yet a boat so beth
Into Sidon where Zerbon is recruited in higher places
As to sing our Vedic hymns slow like the snail
Yet great like the whale
O, some fantasy you O sky father reality do
Finding all our people to let go into the wilderness of Zin
Under Surya in no man's land
Of the land of Ammonihah
God help us all by tobacco and prayers to that river-spirit
By coffee grounds and the gods' nectar prominent among those
As it brings me to my knees as dependent and almost crushed like a grape
To but ferment one into shape exceedingly sore by the destination
Of demur delightful....
