they are pointing out to the desert saying they see God.
new bombs on Zion mean only an hourglass tips fast
but I am confused
because I could swear I saw him just yesterday:
He was just right there -over on that table
I took her in my arms and cooed at and laughed with her quickly
as I dashed between my classes afraid
that I would not pass my test.
It was easy, as it turns out
I should have held her longer.
and there, that girl on the phone who collapsed on the floor outside of the gym
“did he die?” -was all I overheard
as I hurried on afraid to be a nuisance but missed
a wedding feast with Him.
He also glanced out of his eyes just then
when he told me the fire had descended on him
burning, scorching, and revealing
and I laughed and shared with him
now a brother and a bride.
so apologies if perhaps I am reluctant to look east just yet,
because maybe yours are finished, but I see mine
still white with harvest
and while some are crying come Lord
Jesus, I am screaming not yet.
