odes
for
me
Highland whispers, echoes of innocence
Noble virtues of man, bereft of insolence
Highland whispers... life's pristine existence.
Everyone was born once
But not everyone absorbs the
Weight of their name.
And not even rise to carry it with truth.

SUNDAY MORNING August Kleinzahler
a craftsman, a maker of lines
stands out from the crowd
if read aloud
Shadows of night close around me
Like a velvety cloak of darkness,
But I recall that joy comes in the morning.

A.Sunday morning August Kleinzahler
a craftsman, a maker of lines
stands out from the crowd
if read aloud
no more time
to shed
tears
no more lies
to feel
truth
no reason
to be
nice
nothing left
to fear
loss
no vision
to see
God
Slash me with the sharpest sword,
Strike me with the minor chord,
From condescending, cutting word me spare.

The News was trumpeted from atop Mount Sinai
A Sabbath day of renewal, given to all humanity
Thereon to rest, to refresh -- to recapture Eternity
With lethal liquid in the syringe
As he approached his aged, mangy dog
Lying still n’ waiting summons, it wagged its tail
See the bright star
shining afar
high devoir
Jesus is born
A bright new morn
Life adorn
omnipotent
life innocent
infinite
