Parable
"Parable"
When the other
side of night
came to collect its token
I was starlight
unsinkable invisible
some uncaptured mystery
that would never again
be broken mortal
like an egg shell
under the bickering feet
of men, listening to
their own voices
their pathetic arguments
lost in the loud egos
of the better-thans
and the small gods speak
like poets
conjuring sane insanity
resurrecting
events
on their daisy chains
counting numbers
like computus
Beded rosaries
loves me
loves me
not
until every flower
gone, plucked
and lifted up
inside all
reigns
the returning Parable
Water of Life
drenching all
doused in Love
lit,
each one
drop by drop
become an
Ocean inside an Ocean
