3208. ON A BETTER FULFILLMENT

ON A BETTER FULFILLMENT
They brought the bread and the cake,
together - water and wine and loaves
and fishes. The clinging crowd was
grasping at spiritual straws, singing
low laments at the foot of Jesus Hill.
Cedars and cypresses, both, fell at
their Gilgamesh feet. A miracle was
about to happen, and they knew it.
-
Just as a maiden reclines for her
first, so the sky fell down now and
covered the people. An old, primordial
mass return, a gauze of consciousness
little known and long forgotten, now
hovered. With one great voice, the
fervid people cried out : 'My coins
and heart together, oh Divine,
shall join with you.'
-
Night came, and the satisfied people
went about their ways, the tongues
of fire still licking their brows.
