listening up

God be with us
daytime
into night and as the hours pass
the arrival
of the twenty-sixth

still August
still serving the vanity of
Augustus
and
these were gods in Rome
and you are God
everywhere
in every age
not
wanting to disrespect
but really
it is you
one God who made all of Earth
and Earths
yet
remain yourself
the same
the one
who I think will talk with us more
as we prepare
to listen

more than ears
a little theory
mostly
practice
