Slapdash into the ****** pan Is thrown the longed-for son of man. Between the gossiping cups of tea God attains mortality. In the cathedral calm and cold Kneel the erroneous-memoried old. But in the womb's cathedral calm The walls collapse in a birth psalm. The blood sings from the soiled hand The apprentice cleans at the washstand. Undismayed by omission, For everything, everything is won. The proof blazes in impudence Above the miopics of science, Swaggering in love inviolate, Over the uninitiate. And over all the angels dart Like squadrons in a war apart. Dropping parachutes of bliss On everything that is.

Birth of a Child in Wartime
Slapdash into the ****** pan Is thrown the longed-for son of man. Between the gossiping cups of tea God attains mortality. In the cathedral calm and cold Kneel the erroneous-memoried old. But in the womb's cathedral calm The walls collapse in a birth psalm. The blood sings from the soiled hand The apprentice cleans at the washstand. Undismayed by omission, For everything, everything is won. The proof blazes in impudence Above the miopics of science, Swaggering in love inviolate, Over the uninitiate. And over all the angels dart Like squadrons in a war apart. Dropping parachutes of bliss On everything that is.
