It’s an eye for eye

Without, we hope,

Everyone going blind

x

But then the blind we have,

Over-sensate in four ways,

Might have to lead

x

The only ones who know

How to have sight

Without the eyes

the law of glory

 

the law of glory

 

who made autumn glorious?

a final, phoenix flourish before winter

who gave the colors

then must take them back

it is a way

with the discipline of divinity, I guess

I was not asked

I’d make it color all year round,

which would tyrannize the summer

and relegate winter sameness

to memory’s dust-catch

good that I’m not creator, then

I’d hash the seasons

(even in the south it would not be safe)

lose the patterns

for

remaking life in temperate parts

year-round

I’d wreck the year

and then we’d need a

God to save

when rescue is enough

most every day

 

quiet my reckoning, then

keep the seasons in-between as they are

let peace prevail in middlin’-parts

for better reasons
