Eve of the
World
Man, sit
alone
on a stump.
See how
naked
how
uneducated
you are in
this
world. Sit
alone
until dew
settles
on your bewildered
titled shoulders.
You
dream about
wandering
and fire. Dream about
waiting for
God. But first
you must wait
for traces
of the river
to arrive, for
traces of a Psalm,
for trees
in the glen
and soft breezes
to run you through. Wait
for the truth
to settle in
like morning
air, that
you are not
the only one
here.
