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.
