The Swaggarts, Bakkers and Miscaviges
will soon be judenrein.

where a mote and castle collide;

     a morsel of this
       a crumb of that
     a string, a stick, a stone

   Unparalleled, his heady play

Hiding in shadows the echoes of each tremulous and cold step.

printing a cold sunlight on shadowed tree trunks.

Only December has this light,
it both scours and forages,
it scythes away all heaped-up flotsam.

A sound beyond a pitch to my ears.

The Girl Who Sings In the Shower

so her vision doesn't get fogged up
