Second Book of Genesis
x
God kept saying
That it’s good
Creation’s good
Each day of it
x
To be there
Hear the names
Have God speak into our minds
In pre-fall grace
With understanding
There is delight
And faith
In all this
Without they’re being named
Only the day and night
All the animals
Us
And then a time of rest
x
If we had been there
If we could have touched their hands
And drawn them back
From the tree

Thirty Means End of Story
x
How will it end
We do not know
What happens next
We have great lore
And supposition
We have stories
Of returns
We should believe them

one priest one day a year
I wonder if it were cleaned
maybe by the priest
how dusty would it get
without a cleaning
over time
would the priest walk through dust
to find the glorious container
in which was God
maybe a walk through dust
reminded the priest
of mortality
on the way to what is glory
and shall never change
such a day it might be
when splendid robes
are marred
walking through the dust
accumulated
by passing time
by mortality
by forbidding rules
with eternity beyond
how tempting it might be
to stay
not have to walk back
through the particles
of death
reminding everything unclean
but the assignment ends
other rules pull
back through earth
back to earth
changed
moving faith
for another year
