CHRIST 101
by Joanna Gilman Hyde
The Tomato-coloured Couch 6:06pm
I hear the wind howling
how can I tell The World
“I Am The Second Coming Of Christ?”
WRITE IT, It Howls
through the electrical lines
across the shore line —
Black Jesus & The Silver Christ
They are My Friends
maybe more complicated
than Your Basic 2nd Coming
but I can explain Them —
I can explain It All
in terms of The Expression
of Humanity gone
to Its Farthest Reach —
The Reach To God
within The Self
— as The Self
which is the only reason he came the first time. magical.
The only magic here is in the waking up, which I would like to see before I die (but I suspect it has already started and I am comforted and even a little amused by that). Thanks for your heart-felt comment.
FISHER KING
A flash
another jolt
surreal four track
no heads up
ever
no warning
no sirens
a caramba switch
and sudden
to watch the outside
hanging from a cross
cross legged beneath a tree
rising into the sky
this moment
this one moment
this precious eternal
unanswerable moment
no time at all
tune in
tune out
forever
two edged sword
on my left hand
the Fisher King
in my right
the day to day data
of me ing
