ON A MEDIEVAL PAINTING OF THE FALL OF MANThe Angel turned them out of Paradise, And God withdrew within.A glorious Realm receded from their Eyes.They shrank from loving Him. The World is like a Darker Sphere untilWe meet His Love within.An Angel full of Grace is waiting stillTo lead us back to Him. LONG-LOST BOOKSon shelves offriends, long-forgotten. THE ADDRESSEEThe day I become able to address this old, oldhurt, it will be like dispatching and promptlyreceiving a letter back destined to arrive at abetter place inside my self where its contentsmust have been known long before the old, oldshame was revealed, and there's only one line: Dear friend, it's all gone now, and for good! FLYING TO MIAMIAmerica is under me.We have been flying high.The clouds nearby extendlike snowy down across a lovely blue.The years I do not like to countare slowly passing by.etc., etc. BLACK HOLEI used to go through life quite flat-footed. Backthen, the sidewalk would stick to my heels, but I've evolved quite a bit, touching the starsway up here. Far below there's Earth, still kicking.My body? It's being nebulous and probablystretching all over the Milky Way right now . . . My heart is somewhere at the center, and it'sawfully wide. In fact, there's a huge gap in mychest and I'm breathing the universe in and outnight and day. A black hole is all that I really am.I've dropped all contact with matter for sure, and hey, I'm enjoying my space here immensely!
