SUNDAY POETRY

 ANASTASIS

    I.

Freedom
I hear

being no thing, once burned
like a tree of life and

nothing
went up in smoke.

    II.

Having
displayed itself

a cold matter
being

being a cloudy word, shows
behind it all things disappear

all image
scatters.


   III.

Our sense of incompleteness, an empty
loom where, in spirit, a deep loneliness

has woven being larger than
any sense of love can reach

setting
the son― let him go.
