On Oct 19:
I cleaned out a drawer, filled with papers,
And burned all those sins
This morning I found this
Crumpled note on the basement floor,
Next to the woodstove,
The sole survivor:
"John 90 AD
The word became flesh
John (Me) 2018
The flesh became word
I don't understand why people care
whether God created evolution
or evolution created God
The holy spirit is breath entering the body
And the breath leaving the body is sound, holy sound"
Now with the World in flames
This tattered flesh hangs
By a thread,
A scrap of paper
A single breath,
A coincidence,
and holy sound
