Knowing Full Well
Thou knowest me --- all too well thou knowest;
so, too, condemn me.
Unlike Christ, I would hunger for the feeding of the ravens;
unlike Him, from time to time, vengefully
I would desire a plague upon the Romans.
Some where come the patient hand, some time the winning way
… is not nearly enough a kingdom come.
All that which is an abomination … is fine to ask –
begging for the orphan’s meal, pleading for the widow’s mite.
Surreal
Is it reality you seek, or insanity?
the current course like an early vision of clouds:
easy to fall from, hard to rise above,
with no cause to stay aloft at all.
Poor fool to think there is something else beyond,
when there is not even a ‘here’ worth having.
We were torn unassuming and unobserved from the earth.
None sees, no one knows –
who walks in witness down the road
or sleeps with the homeless in the ditch.
“Let us widen the street over him”, cloudy crowds say;
“Complain not”, such as smartly,
who reason it well a grave of sorts.
Were There Salvation
If God were to be an avenging angel,
he would be an earnest one;
if God were to be a generous repayer of good deeds,
he would be a dilatory one:
never tarrying, mind you, just biding his time
and watching –
the agony of the ghostly saints
congealed from an early tragedy,
resurfacing now at this reflected date,
a coming back to the trauma of sin …
that they thought they had, but could never escape.
All this seen, thence shall rise the good once more,
or fall more the abject in submission –
heaven envisioning all this, saints and sinners,
likely both having ridden vainfully on track
the rails of their own self-pity.
