Divinity

poets, the evergreens, 
their poems, the word
gospels that didn't make
the big book like
birds on overhead wires
accidentally perched 
in the sequence of a
Beethoven symphony
but those words divine, 
while I figure out grain
on half lit wooden floors
reduced, now, to poems
in pyjamas, oh my life, 
delayed, enforcing other 
immortalities
