“It was not gay, that life.” You can’t “make me small,”
you “can’t put me down” or take away my job
I am immune,
although it is not gay. Why did we come at all,
consonant to whose bidding? Perhaps God is a slob,
playful, vast, rough-hewn.
Perhaps God resembles one of the last etchings of Goya & not Valesquez, never Rembrandt no. Something disturbed, ill-pleased, & with a touch of paranoia who calls for this thud of love from his creatures-O. Perhaps God ought to be curbed.
Not only on this planet, I admit; somewhere. Our only resource is bleak denial or anti-potent rage, both have been tried by our wisest. Who was it back there who died unshriven, daring to see what more could happen to a painter with such courage.

What is your name? Never know. Hunched, picked off a pair’a you—neither crow nor winch. A thing god backlit in neon after blessing us with neon. And I know what it means as a poet to carry this heavy basket—faint mason, invisible stevedore, passage of time, neither good nor right.
I am fearful for firm and misunderstood things— the spume, smiling inside the gargoyle, cultural forb— they’re no different as carrion ghouls. Time has done miserable things with light—he waves no staff nor hauls no sack of turquoise shards. Quick!
He’s about to make a break for it. He’s about to windlass Into the clouds, that one’s fancy. The crocodile climbs many painted ladders. No weighted, pretty purple halos ringing the eyes of these wordy wraiths—embrace not knowing your name. I struggle to pull down the old crucifix.

son of man
heals parallax herd
fulcrum’s law at capernaum
he opens the dog
displays parallelism
which is easier: thinking
like this fellow or talking
like that one? he’s blaspheming
what tortuous reason forgives
endless lodestar of night
always night always later
when jesus knew such large
numbers of followers yet night
yet diagnostic dark drinking
into it and walked through the people
hearts blaspheme who can forgive
the dog you love sheds love sheds
into you know them teach them
why does the paralyzed man
offer to heal the parallax herd
son of law
where is capernaum now?
the boldness of paralyzed men
the dog brought hearthbound
the crowd praised god
Dead, I could not be allowed to move when my rabbit ran away
it is usually a red dress that day. When my leg went west. The dead I could not say—
owned what a belief. I could not say—so who owns this chief relief. I could be.
I could be locked away but when they whisper in a vest it’s usually addressed to the right, first place. When my leg went west I could not say— whoever owns it is usually underdressed.
Move when my rabbit runs away: It is unusually in first place. When they are so usable assume one of their lips looks away.
