τό καλόν, τό ἀληθές, τό ἀγαθόν (Transedentals)



The woman wears her skin 

like a bathrobe.

She stands in the middle 

of a golden field,

weeping fresh water. 



This is a story of the first sunrise --- of God's last genesis. 

This is the place where the itinerary of iteration comes to an end. 

This is what fire smells like without smoke. 

This is a catalog of everything for which I have ever prayed. 

This is what happens when you cremate the ghost. 



She stomps her foot. 

Angels rise from everything 

Are they angels? 

Is everything finally itself? 

Is everything finally Good?

    Oh Lord of Windows, 
    Oh Window, 
    Oh Mirror with Drawn Curtains,  

    maybe if I keep tapping, 
    keep drumming my fingers on your altar, 
    you’ll wake up. Maybe
