I HAVE A BANNER
In this rain I am alone with
nothing, now as the rain comes
down in sheets. No umbrella, just
this banner pronouncing 'me.'
Whether good or bad, this pale
protection need suffice to cover
me from all my ills and ails.
No other help avails, though I
see the markings in the world
around me - a fevered rush
to be secure and covered from
all approximations of whatever
may occur. The lion somehow
roars, while the lamb sets down
to rest, though not to mingle.
-
As distant as the stars is the
space around me, I am glad for
cancellations as they come. and
welcome the stand-alone aspects
of this bitter wind and rain.
-
'Undo your gates, ye princes of
pride, the king of bliss come
in this tide.'
