BENEATH THE RADIANT MOUNTAIN

 

THE SUPER BOWL BENEATH THE RADIANT MOUNTAIN


Yes, this afternoon, sometime after three


Hours after the Gospel lesson in Mark


Jesus on the Mountain

dazzling, alongside

Elijah and Moses


About wore me out


Karen asking over coffee,

How did that happen

OTHER TO WHAT WE WERE SHOWN

 

THERE IS NO OTHER WAY

TO SAY THIS BEING OTHER

TO WHAT WE WERE

TAUGHT AND SHOWN

          --for B.G.


The prayer

that comes up

has no content

but here’s

your name

as I walk

and this is

my prayer


and it is

prayer

and prayer

it is

READING SCRIPTURE

 

READING SCRIPTURE

    --after Michael Edwards


His sudden presence

of being differently

from nostrils comes smoke
