At the summit of Mauna Kea, an array of antennae
Somewhere among them your ancestor the slave,
Also your ancestors the thief the prince the stranger.
Each particle a thread of crazed pilgrim life
Passing as one tortoise mount pauses to tread
The emanation of a dead star still alive
And afire, back when the astral procession began.
Everybody by descent the outcome of a rape.
Everybody also the outcome of a great love
Ruth, Holofernes, Sappho, Abélard, mostly
Anonymous traveling a filament of light
Poem "Procession" by Robert Pinsky from "At the Foundling Hospital" published by Farrar Straus Giroux / New York 2016
I will extend peace to her like a river
and the glory of the Gentiles
like a flowing stream.

They are always kissing, they can't
control themselves
It is not possible
that any creature can have greater instincts
and perceptions than the
mature human
mind.
God
ripened me.
So I see it is true:
all objects in existence are
wildly in
love.
We
bloomed in Spring.
Our bodies
are the leaves of God.
The apparent seasons of life and death
our eyes can suffer;
but our souls, dear, I will just say this forthright:
they are God
Himself,
we will never perish
unless He
does.
Awake north wind and come south wind!
Blow on my garden that its fragrance
spread everywhere. Let my beloved
come into his garden and taste
its finest fruit.
He makes my feet like the feet of a deer
He causes me to stand on the heights
He trains my hands for battle
My arms can bend a bow of bronze

. . .
My Kingdom is not of this world.
If it were My servants would fight...
My Kingdom is not from here.
Everyone who is of the
truth listens to My voice.
I can call on My Father, and
He will at once
put at My disposal
more than twelve legions of Angels.

John 18:36 - 37
Matthew 26:53
Flowers appear on the earth
the season of singing has come
the cooing of doves is heard in our land
God's light is more real than all darkness
God's truth is more powerful than all human lies
God's love is stronger than death
