There’s something between us
That may as well have been
Spoken millions of years ago
Before light was thought of…
It already was. Before sound--
Was already conceived…
But somewhere, I know in
The fabric of time, there
Was a unsown button--
A thread through creation
That wedged a gulf. I don’t understand
But I ask
To cross the bridge
That Jesus built after
The wealthy man opened
His eyes on the other side
Of paradise. When I open my eyes
And see hunger.
The sun burning on its own
Axis. God’s creation
Falling apart in perfect
Symmetry.
