ELEGY WITH SUPREME LOVE







from painting by Rex DeLoney

















NIGHT MOUNTAIN SKY SONG

Coltrane on a rainy morning.
Chasing Train.
A love Supreme. Acknowledgment.
Acknowledging. That big,

the music. Mark Karn
carrying music. Carries
Crazy Horse
calling up Neil Young,
Christ hunter Orion

calling on His Father.
Big love. Big love.
Bonhoeffer big.
Life Together. That one.

Joined by the stars.
One who wants fellowship
without solitude plunges
What we can't claim
right here in our hands.

Before the baptismal font
leaving worship
arms in wonder-reach
Christ secure.

A love supreme
A love supreme
A love supreme
A love supreme
