Cecelia Hopkins-Drewer Poet Verse

Let Us Build a Tower

(Lines on a visit to a repeater station)


See it
stretching to the sky
contained in a cloud
Jacob's ladder grows from the ground.
What angels in overalls
and rubber extremities
periodically  climb on missions
to the great lightmaker above?
Spreadeagled, its feet
are rooted in earth.
The framework solid,
the centre hollow
it relies on its connection
to other such great ladders.
Swaying in the atmosphere
the cable forms a thread of cobweb
over the earth.
The pulse of daily life
flows through the lines
and the servants tend the garden
in the light that shines from Babel's border.
