in illo tempore
[image source]
in illo tempore
as shadow cast (original face)
dense as fog, across
a desert of sage and stones
_____
first communion, stale wafers
and sour wine: belief
cannot make it so
sweet flesh and blood
of the first kiss:
darkness
joins two worlds: tasting
the word made soul
_____
memory webbed
in vessels and arteries,
flowing from womb to urn
_____
that this is outlived,
revealed only when the mirror
falls to floor
ivy shrouds the body’s
temple walls
_____
the sky painted
black and flowered
with stars, transient,
shifting a little
each moment
then one falls
screaming to the ground
a smile on the lips
of an iris: a blooming
where heaven kisses earth
