Poems
Apr 2016
Peter known as John
Call it what you like but it's caramel to me
and I see caramel that grows in the mountains of a monastery
and why, you ask me,
caramel?
It's a ritual between a god and man and some say that it's spiritual.
I like to call it caramel.
If it pleases you that the wandering Jew we knew as Jesus walks among us
then believe it's true,
call him Emmanuel
I call him Caramel.
When I stand before the final board with a microfiche on which my life and deeds are stored,
they may dwell on why
and why
Caramel?
I shall quote from Ezekiel or Ruth,
the truth?
a lie?
I'll leave them wondering why
and why not
Caramel ?
