index

i, a protestant, at the coptic church

[verse] I am a mustang seated
in the stands
of a horse show

Or an old stray
at a dog show
smelling the slack leashes

My dna stirs to
my creed’s core
I feel here what
I couldn’t grasp

I am a wild plant
stunted and fazed
by a lattice covered
with angels of roses

Or I am Absalom’s ghost –
an unsensed, ebbing
essence – jealous only
for my father’s tears
