#2423 -- either awe

 



2423

7.230

20.viii.26

either awe

rights to delusion

in a very old church in Krakow

 

don’t we all believe impossible things?

 

to utter truths as if it were

or even the eyes of the animal reflected

    where they look

 

to expect to be understood

 

a polished edifice who’ll die to put up?

or sever a vampire’s head – does that work? 

 

trompe l’oeill for a death cult

it was an error to disallow

 

when was it first the dead

outnumbered the living?

 

very many of the questions are wrong

 

leave nothing to imagination

that would not help you here

 

the privileges of poverty

the riches on display

 

you can polish a floor with marble

 

pop in to unpray

 

a poem becomes

just where I give this thought

 

and a little ray of sun to strike

we must allow that too
