by saying the familiar
such as
here I am, Lord
we take comfort
in the suggestion
of return-
I so believe
and utter
here I am, Lord
but do not recall
the leave taking
my good Lord
provides
but instead
remember
being very still
for a very long time
a building went up
around me
I was very plain
for a very long time
and weighed
on the building
like an elevator
might
if broken
and in this manner
of being still and plain
I was called
to paraphrase
a certain
fey opacity
that went
I know
too far
