BLESSING

BLESSING

I chiselled this poem
out into stone

laborious work
but it
felt worth it

wrote the whole thing
with a stylus cutting
markd into
clay tablets

spray painted
a whole stanza
in plain view
on the side of a building
in the middle of the night

daubed
it in blood
desecrating a flag

keyed it in electronically
pressed send and
believed it
published instantly
bouncing across the ether

whispered it into
your soft
ear

typed it out with suddenly
agile fingers
observed it flow
across your body

taking
it
to the house

point of truth where
you are at your most receptive

most fully conscious
of how
transcience here
comes into play

poem
be both blessed and
doomed
to disappear
