O Jesus
— A breeze and severe honey glow
crowning his young shoulders — groomed
disgust in his walk, his mystic theater practice
already modeled to lecture us, the radiant
pull at his mom’s sleeve
emptied of any given moment. Puissance of a sort, holy body of Christ.
What Esau calls discourse through example. Later
Even the unholy pitch in, bringing on what works mostly. Life is short and good grooming drives you all over. Recent example, no longer Christ’s victims,
you and I grabbed the discursive moment as a ladder we shouldn’t overuse —
A given moment to stare out the window, a lava lamp over our shoulders to herald the swindle in wind farming.
