This Day God
God
What do you think
I should say today
If anything
To share
For
We know that you are love
But we aren’t love
And you won’t fix us
Obviously
And we could follow you
By serving each other
Though
The world would only hurt us
Take from us
And should we all be ready
To lose that much
And
Maybe so
Yet
Sigh
I am weak
And unconnected
So what could I do to make
Things better
But
Maybe
On occasion to remind us that
You are
In truth love
And
Direct of us to be and
Do the same

Left Behind Over
x
I used to wonder
How I got it
Wrong
How I was tricked
By devilish
Personae
And didn’t get to go
Above
Beyond
Wherever all the heavenly
Got to go
x
I am on Earth
When it’s called tribulation
To be here
And to be here
I have to have my forehead
Marked
Be ready to pay
Bars of gold
For bread
And who knows
If any water
Anything is safe
While nothing is
x
I wish it hadn’t come to this
x
A savior
Styled by self
And people
Rises
A liar
Who looks
Oh
So
Well
In public
Yet drains us for itself
Ready to execute
The life from those
Returning
To the faith
x
And me
Should I feel the blade
Of death on Earth
For heaven
x
A heavenly force
Arrives
And all again is overthrown
This time for victory
Of belief
And real power
Manifest like matter
From creation
x
It has hurt
It has been trying
Life
And death for faith was awful
Now it’s done
x
And is it a dream
For sirens of
Earthly missiles
And a moment
To decide
x
So
Decide

Hospitalism
My sister tells me it’s a man thing
Not wanting to go to the
Hospital
It’s certainly true that I do not want to go
And that I thought this
A healthy inclination
Now I wonder if for those women who
Care so much
(In quantity and quality) if there is a
Kind of comfort there
Someone else to provide, to
Decide,
To break the news
And deal with it first

Balintawtaw
Look me in the eye
Balintawtaw
How might
It undulate
Do you wave in
Love or fright
Attributes that
Can be shared, you
Know:
Each evokes
A shaking of
Soul-senses
Overcome one
To have the
Other—you decide
Then with one
Intent, look the
Other in the eye
