AND THE GLORY

AND THE GLORY

how it must resonate
with you
helping speed
along Biblical
divine purpose
(but the exact
chapter and verse
seemingly hard
to locate)

marching your way (sorry,
all our ways) across
dead landscape upon
landscape
into the book
of revelations

wrestling all into submission
as they meet
head-on, full
frontal attack
the power and the glory

no moment more
opportune
to jump
the gun

bring about that
eternal pastoral, ingrained
memory that it must be,
of all
   that precedes us

predates all sense of purpose
that we have been
called upon
to execute

empire, downloaded from above
