#885 - let's pretend

let’s pretend

 

and heaven then

white sky beard, vengeance

love and everywhere

 

let’s pretend the word is gospel

 

mass of angels pretending too

all on the head of a pin

 

devil over shoulder

neither push nor shove

but bible light, diaphanous

all boys by the way

pretend that witches burn

 

let’s pretend everything for a reason

justice over all

like the crown

my father told

of a molten throne

let’s pretend

he reigned

the moment is forever

 

we are and always

and if you say amen

let’s pretend a prayer’s

heard, answered

 

imagine no voice ever lost

but one for all for one

 

horrid things rot

but let’s pretend not

 

instead the bones up for a dance

take hands and let’s pretend

think it till it’s so

 

how else?

how otherwise?

 

pretend we’ll be with them

all will be as was

 

time’s arrow’s fallen, bent

let’s pretend that we were sent

and we’re here on a mission

 

to entertain an uncaused cause

imagine the old sun shone to applause

 

but mainly we should sing

should dance

 

just let’s pretend there’s

the ghost of a chance
