The Lazarus Q'd

4 days wondered 
and wondered, 

wondered why

for days wandering, 
left far behind  

in that desolate place

the staff shepherding  
the long Lazarus queue 

black sheep
woolen hearts 

woven together
like tight poems huddled

all together, knitting
all the lost together

the rod cued 
hits the ground 

like a lightening strike

lightworlds away 
lightworlds arrive 

risen again 
running with words in vein

vanity words 
the Lazarus Q'd

now running in veins

it’s like you never had wings
now you feel so alive

unfurling 

like Lazarus
risen 

again



Candide Diderot. ‘24
