Kit Kelen #1442 - revelation


1442
revelation
for godsbother


begin
last line first

voice like a trumpet
snow white too

see where I am in the blessing count
there are seven golden lampstands

how many who live and breathe won’t know?

how bright the wings
where leaves once flew

how doubt benights
the grisly gist

so I rotate my heavens
get a better view

Christmas face
and Easter after  

nail my theses

touch
my last book
(suggesting sequel, movie rights)

add one word
you’ll get all the plagues
(an edit is out of the question)

angel after angel
they gave me a measuring rod

lots of sevens
lamb for white
yum

let me tell you
what must soon take place

of the spheres to look up’s one

what we don’t know
cuts to the core
to the quick

the radio talks too much
we’ll all be in it soon

(keep Bibles out of harm’s way
shut up on the shelf)

so much unbelieving
and never here before

all that’s eternal
needs to be fleshed

mind where you go

someone else is underfoot
someone is at home

someone said
‘you can believe me’
got quotation marks

before a prayer this was the wish

you want to wake
keep dreaming
the smoke will keep you now

I’m made of miracles myself

swerve of the atoms
not a molecule knew

cough for me
the doctor says

drought makes the parrots brighter

a burning bush
spells smoke
