searching a kind Verb

 

 

 

 

for the love of God

and writing

and poets

and accumulated heartbreak

and dissatisfaction

and dissatis-fraction

quarters of a whole

quarters in the pocket of a beggar

quarters of a throne

thorned and malicious

and deceitful

and psychotic

and 

for the love of God

and his people

his sheep

the shepherd

with grimy hands

with hardened face

with a staff

black with immodesty

with immoral tip

the ground rejects

the worms scatter

the subjects scatter

the nouns profit

they are all but proper

but they profit

for the love of God

 

not the one to whom

we pray

we are poets

we kneel before the muse

in reverence

and

for the love of God.

for the love of Calliope I write. She wills my pen to move in words and all I can do is give in and enjoy the ride. But speaking of dissatis-fraction, the love of that god is one all decent people should reject him and his sheep. We deserve better Jacob.
