another side of the animal

Yes

Yes Jesus walked on water.
Robes above wet.
The crest bowed.

It was shining
From the arc.

I watched on his knees
Him sit,
The weather heavy
On.

- Short breath into
Drive wind.

And press fingers against the
Coat of water.

And fought the jackal gods of egypt.



The blue virgin

The blue virgin,
Heavy with God
Weight in the desert. A
Sky full of clouds. The starless.
And the small deus came out
In a red wind.

This Jesus, blue from mom
And cold, opened without sight, dark over
His eyes. The weeping crossed his
Chest. The trembling moved him
Down her lap, into other hands.

Lions snorted at the soft god.
Some men stood in a ring.
Morning took its time to come.

Repeat twice and end.



Whale Song

The red. The sound,
Distant, sound of bread
Falling behind the boat. The
Heavy exhale when the whale comes
Up, grabs sobbing crust, dips. You there,
Breaking bread against the sunset,
Fish bleed on the deck behind
You and two streams run under your
Feet. They rill slow and
Sink in the water. Red sunset blurring too.
Red water red gunwales and red
Kissed by the glare
When she surfaces, grabs sobbing crust,
Dips.

The boat is always ahead.
The bow and keel nodding windy.
The whale catching rye and
Breathes of thick red water.

She followed the boat until she rubbed her
Belly going down. Until she felt
A breeze in her eyes. Until she washed in the
Shallow lapping on the stones. And I am
Sure that bread was dropped
Up the beach up the hills
Into the sky where gulls got heavy with it.
The boat does not know
Water from sky.

But what sea journey has
Become a tired whale on shores?
Yours or mine? We are all the same, and
Have followed ourselves to here and man.

all for now. have good weekends.
