Christian Poetry -12

Babel


    Plan dispersion
    Scatter vowels like rain
    Confuse consonants
    Heavy snow
    Thick in the throat
    Honey tongued yearning
    For ice dreams

Baked clay
Cracked earth
Seedlings slender
Slips of movement
Turn centrifugal
Forced on head
Upside down laughter

    Fling constellations
    From throats starry
    Aphorisms climb
    Into heaven’s lap

Wait until map
Stretches tight
Pulled at each corner
Drying skin
Crinkled parchment
Unrolled river
Billows over scroll

    Bubbling voices
    Mingle dances
    Flow faster
    Reunite eternity
