Justice Clarence Thomas speaking during the Catholic mass in celebration of last rites for the late Justice, Anthony Scalia, reads from Scripture Romans 5:5-11 |
IF WE STOP USING JESUS WORDS ARE EGGS
Indeed, only with difficulty does one die for a just person -Romans 5:7
no way a seed
a word, alone, an egg
semen on the blue dress
semen on the altar cloth
****
this last
rite
my god, my god
have you forsaken
supreme justice dead
photographed in black, the seed
this last
right
of white mythology, won’t
stop using jesus
supreme justice dead

this last
write
****
red adam
red at night
shown your red winged life already
torn from monism's ghosting imagination
see it doubling the grotesque we’ve
read at night
who can make nothing
of it now?
****
we don’t even know
we've fallen into water―know
this red-winged black reflection
as ensouling presence―the ghosts’
“ghost” in the melting pot
we once were―see it and believe
what ghosts where dark men require
discrimination
not in black and white but
in how one will have read
"good people"
"just" person
out of this differing twoness
where we peck away
the old way we've read;
the difficulty of our dying
laid to rest
and hatched
****
let knowing and loving
unite where death
feeds you freshly hatched
out of your sensual landscape
beyond matters
celebrating decay en mass
****
death threads life in what
death wants soul-making clothed in:
an unknown
god
where no way back faces each alone in the alone
where it alone represents itself to us again
red at night
black and white
may we each find our way
