Notes About The Poem

Matthew Songs



"Matthew Songs"

they sing their Matthew songs to me
Heaven’s hold is paved by stains ingrained 
in glory dream streets of burnished gold
angels crowned by The shining nebulous, like poker cards fold

their heads bowed low to a mystery risen riding clouds 
that fly across an empyreal chariot sky
all shades of intermittent blistering blue, 
their memories now far away long gone

deliverance is a waited negotiation
heavy between two ancient warring souls,
twin flames – God,
and the one non-absolute soul that went wrong

both cry out in pain
both sing their siren songs


Candide Diderot. ‘25
