Entertaining Unaware

x

The Greek myth that

I like so much

About the couple who

Ends up entertaining gods

x

Then while at dinner

Having both

The pitcher and the plate

Fill with wine and grapes

Respectively

All the time

x

Comes to mind

When pouring out the last

Of the cream

From the carton

x

Hoping there’s enough for

A cup of coffee

By an acolyte

Of morning

x

Or whenever

Some plenty might be needed

Provided by maybe

A not-unknown

God

With perhaps

An agency of angels

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

Philemon’s Pitcher

Philemon’s Pitcher

 

I wished for more

I prayed for miracle

A job, a home

Companions

A car to get me there and

Back again

For clothes that set and

Looked good

Well, good enough

Food that might hold me

And I might enjoy

 

And what happened

With these petitions I don’t

Know,

But I think when at I’m the gate or

Once inside

I might be told:

 

Did you not notice the extra

Potato in the bag

The extra gasoline already in the tank

The fifteen minutes more

Than should not have been available

The one who held the door and

Was never seen again?

 

The miracles of stories must be large,

I guess

Miracles as molecules

Go uncounted

Unconsidered

And those in between

Not for the book but nonetheless

The provenance of angels who

Entertained us unaware

Land of the Free

Land of the Free

 

Sometimes

It’s hard to know

What to perceive

As real

 

It’s a hard time

To be alive,

Though it’s good, too

 

Welcome home,

She called to her

Spaniel charges

 

Here they will

Have home

 

Tired Monday mornings

Notwithstanding

Or lulls in movement

Or going through

The harder times of life,

 

Home will be here

For small angels

Unaware
