In the harbor of dark
The light ghost came sailing
What God will and will not do
Takes some getting used to
Sieze the deep perception
Unhook it.
Put it in your basket.
Clean it, cook it.
And dread the day
it works its wonder.
May I wake to you
From this slow, slow vertigo
Gospel tuna
Free it from the can, please.
Stop mashing the albacore.
My gift is my hunger
My hunger for You
Birds dive for man’s bread
O Elijah, where have you gone?
I saw God
Well, no, a man
at church.
He held his baby boy
close to his chest,
and his daughter followed.
Oh that baby, I know,
he’ll light up and
strike out,
and dad’ll be pissed,
and when the sword is slashing
there’s cutting all around.
But through it all
there’s this:
the embrace,
and the watching eye
of the girl.
How was I to know
That Your heart is like a Russian doll,
and that my every approach
would find me
still deeper in You –
deeper in the dark star flashing.
