Holding Rembrandt’s eyes
his hands distilling water
The great seam of human interference
is to reproduce nature
Christmas tree studded with twilight
the hive of soaring angels to be heard
Christ in the foil star
shaking tapestry and marble pillar
Lay down your tabernacle of doubt
my peace I give you
Overtures of light, amulets in a pearl
my composition waning
Deep baritone of men
Singing… singing… singing…
I am not afraid I am not alone
I am not afraid I am not alone.
