Apropos Genesis
(For The Apostolic Poets I Know)
Now I see
Said the blind
Brother
Sister
As the brail
Shed light
On the Word:
Truth—
I hear
Said the deaf
Brother
Sister
Hearing
The thundering
Signed Word—
I feel you
Said the paraplegic
Brother
Sister
Who felt and feels
The written Word:
Blinking
Thinking
Scratching
Tearing
Echoing
In every way—
What’s your problem…
Brother!?!
Sister!?!
Tell me!!!
Yo! I shall
See you!
Yo! I shall hear you!
Yo! I shall feel you!
Yo! I shall walk with you!
Yo! I shall fight with and for you!
Word!
In the beginning
God is
Was
And forever will be
The Word:
Written!
Heard!
Felt!
Forever
Free!
WORD!
