dead

bam, bam he's dead
shot near the water-front
where the ship dropped him  off
and life became a  scream

this is not the kingdom of God
but the kingdom of gods
proclaiming the righteous manner of their dreams
of life without death
and death that never grieves
of dead people walking alive
and the living full of grief

he's dead
laying it the root of trees
resting for the angel's grace
held above the immortal rest

a has-been mockery of a win

dead

dead
dead



*To pray is to set out, to love, to write, to paint, and to die at each instant.
-Jean Sulivan


*...prayer rises up from the heart of life.
-Jean Sulivan


*Prayer is not perfect, Cassian says, if the one who prays is aware of himself and realizes that he is praying.
-Jean Sulivan

*...we often try to use God as a tool. Praying is a struggle. It's a matter of going beyond faith in one's own thoughts in order to rediscover the original faith.
-Jean Sulivan
