“Back to Square One” by Peter Land, 2015. Kunsthal Rotterdam.
It’s not in a can.
You can’t buy the can
and open it
and pull it out
and dress it up with mustard.
Nor can you dream it up
or get rich enough to buy it.
That’s not what it is.
It doesn’t work that way.

Fire withdrawn from a bush in the desert
smolders in hearts
awaiting wood and wind


Do you know all
a ball can do
and men, too, until
the broadcast shows what they did?


But are you in you?
Are you when you
fly wide in God?
