Adam (free verse)
November 17, 2009
He walks in to holy organ riot
Serpent sway
Unlined mouth
Agitation
That cracks the clay
Where the chieftain lies
“Teach me how to raise the dead,” I say
His arms open into a porch
He pulls me back
Cawing
No fleeting mayfly backwards glance
A foetal world
Back, still further back
Into himself
Searingly plain and shocked and open
Dark like a dead child’s birthday
Rain has yet to be imagined
Inside the earth we climax
Eyeless
Seconds resume
He walks away
Just that
He walks away
