Flying, Creeping Things

x

I liken the bird

To the Holy Spirit

That flies with grace,

Usually

x

Often arrives

As a surprise

That on good

Days knows the wind

And all the stirrings

Of the Earth,

That often arrives

As shadow,

Serving

As prophecy

Anticipated

x

The Bible kind

Nothing marketed

x

We can aim

And shoot

And tear the metaphor

Apart

Or we can listen

Glossolalia

x

A song announcing

God is alive

In fragile revelation

For our sakes

x

Closely attend

An irony of notice,

Trampling the uncertainty

Doctrine or fear

Demand

With the way in

We’ve always wanted
