I was conceived about this time - February 1957:
The Child Is Father of the Man (Wordsworth 1802)
Our time here -
t'was like the night before
the Père Noël delivers
with the Miracle Lift
just the body in a body bag
the gift of Life
being never wrapped up like a Christo
just the body suited to the myth
Santa's sack emptied
now the brother-man is full-filled
spent on childhood
Humanhood - the father & mother of brother & sister hood
As my father
borne on a February 10th
lies down to rest
on the postmas eve 1997
and like a star dozing off
on a learjet after a whirlwind tour
the leading man
17 light years before his lady
still leading their newborns
like their mothers & fathers before them
receives the Miracle Lift
the two on board as one
travelling one way - to Thy kingdom come
what really happens on earth
doesn't stay on earth
from the start of their heart
both AoA - all Alive on Arrival -
Home
silence is never
dead to the world
just resting
in heavenly peace
the lull
without a bye
I am following to find them
expecting me There too
in the nursery of Our Father's
Haven of the Humane
A real celebration waiting for us all (Chicago "Saturday in the Park" 1973)

i crave clarity---the body---associated with the Divine---the immortal. a son recalling his mother and father, in a deep moment of meditation---
the pom is here----for me:
the body wrapped like a Christo
As my father
borne on a February 10th
lies down to rest
on the postmas eve 1997
and like a star dozing off
after a whirlwind tour
the leading man
17 light years before his lady
still leading their newborns
like their mothers & fathers before them
receives the Miracle Lift
the two on board as one
travelling one way - to Thy kingdom come
what really happens on earth
doesn't stay on earth
from the start of their heart
Arrival - Home
the lull
without a bye
I am following to find them
expecting me There too
in the nursery of Our Father's
the specific date of birth, gives the poem and the reader a clear starting place. wrapped body, the christian image in death.
the star, the poet in an at of self-mockery, an act of affirmation.
Miracle lift, death, imagined, death recalled.
Arrival home---the curious, the quiet miracle of simultaneous birth and death.
the lull
without a bye
I am following to find them
expecting me There too
in the nursery of Our Father's
my favorite line:
the lull
without a bye
a sad wonderful understatement of the death throe.

I enjoyed the images, the Christo, the dozing star...
