photos by Fisherman Dan @ Branford, CT
in the heart of the yellow sun
the great current
the blinding white stars
over a blue sheet
.
when this age has passed
and thunder rolled back its
ringing flames
nestled in the high pines
of course these wild atoms of your heart
.
swallowed by the great current
the burning wings
the wedding at cana
and so it happens
to each and all
water to wine
flesh to light
.
it is summer now
in the skies long house
a rib cage of heat and fragrance
surrounded by 5000
your a lifted fish
or a loaf
in the hands of christ
.
it is no wonder now
you are surrounded
by immigrants and thresholds
as vulnerable as dew
in a field of fire
.
it is useless now
to utter
the unsayable
why would you want to burn redemption
when the whole world is an open secret
totally lifted
and out of proportion
