Apropos Genesis: For the Apostolic Poets I Know

Apropos Genesis
(For The Apostolic Poets I Know) 

Now I see
said the blind
brother
sister
as the brail
shed light 
on the Word:
Truth—

I hear 
said the deaf 
brother
sister
hearing
the thundering
signed Word—

I feel you
said the paraplegic
brother
sister
who felt and feels
the written Word: 

blinking
thinking
scratching 
tearing
echoing
in every way—

What’s your problem…
brother!?!
sister!?!
Tell me!!!

Yo! I shall
see you!
Yo! I shall hear you!
Yo! I shall feel you!
Yo! I shall walk with you!
Yo! I shall fight with and for you!

Word!
