Seagulls and Saints of Emmaus

Listen to poem:
Seagulls and Saints of Emmaus David J Walker I see Seagulls and Saints And icy sills of Window’s Restraints of blurred realities And unaccompanied Complaints But clearly every pray ends In amends and Amens And incitant constraints I see syllables in Sawgrass A syllabus of things passed Down in hands of hand me down Phases and phrases Of false praise promises of Devine Salutations extended to The someone just behind me I see sunsets and bad bets In this and that complications of Unfinished pages of equivocations On the road to Emmaus, (about seven miles from Jerusalem) “Stay with us” we plead for it is nearly evening and the day is almost done.” So he went and broke bread And then fled as their eyes opened. And That’s when I saw Seagulls and Saints Dining in fields of locust and wild honey
