like lightning on water


"history, too, is a simple machine"   -- Steve Brightman

 

like lightning on water

grace brought the first living organism

 

the Triune God -

Frankenstein, Passion, Darwin

 

moist dirt rises through eons

spits out humans

crafts of them Buddhas

 

we sit somewhere in the balance

not believing this possible

that the stench of iniquity

could give rise to beautiful flowers

each of us, a lotus turning 

in the hand of self-effacing time
