Tragedy
With incidents arousing pity and terror

Comedy
The happy resolution of error

History
A nightmare but hidden fairer

Poem Unlimited
Shakespeare despite despairer

We are abandoned in Time
       God is not in time
        Time is the Cross

          - Simone Weil

Watching film
Of Woodstock
Two months after my birth

Sunlight. Firenight.

Long time passing.

Not truth is subjective
But rather
Truth is Subjectivity
According to Soren
The melancholy Dane

The truth
For which I am willing
To live and die
I make my choice
I take my risk
Without an assured why

Grace pourin'
Despite the pain

Chicago snow
Wise priests who know
How lovely!

analogical imagination
shamanic invitation
private poetic vocation

          protection!

The Bishop and the Beggar Girl of St. Germain
A locked room mystery
And a female French Catholic priest pertains

Then the miracles will begin to happen
Announces the charming Blackie Ryan

And, as Father Greeley insisted,
There's nothing the Church fears
More than miracles
(Ah! Father Greeley ain't lyin'!)
