LIFE BY THE SPIRIT
you
off hard coins
bite portraits
from
locked knuckles loose hot
mountain
rubies thru white robes
see
my misshapen—
how
can a man do this when he
is
old?
but
whether there
is
choice wine,
it
will stoop.
applause
will
detonate
tin
foil
in your
teeth.
music
will
be like
gravel
or
machine
gum.
flowers
will
learn
the
names
of your
kids.
(be still)
your kidneys
might cramp
up you might
urinate scraps
of iron but
this works out
for your
deliverance.
who can
contain
experience?
careful.
it works like flying does in
a
dream. you can't want it too much.
