Epiphaneity
Epiphany
Twelfth Night
Also
Orthodox Christmas
Yet in the west
We have the
Magi
Visiting
The child
With the mother
And adoptive father
And since
Liturgy
Respects only its
Chronology
We might mainly note
Today
The baptism
By
The cousin John
Of the child now grown
Now
Authorized by the
Spirit
As a dove
Then the child
Grown
Journeys into
Wilderness

Patmos Day 10001
(Revelation 21 1)
I am here alone
Surrounded by the world
Or so it seems
The world tan and blue
The building bleached
In which I rest
Waiting for another vision
Testimony
That will not come
I fear
After all
I all learned about
The end of things
But there was so little said about
The new
Too brief
The new heaven and new
Earth
How they might be conveyed
For life in the eternal
I want to know
Not as if apocalypse were not enough
It burns the parts of me that
Sight things
Still
So I scratch on paper
When I can
A finger in the sand
When there is that
I wait
For them to come
The agents of the Savior
Telling me
In perfect love and fear
What to record
That might slip through the web
For all of you to hear
Theophilae
