Ascension

            As they were watching, he was lifted up,
            and a cloud took him out of their sight

                           —Acts 1.9

The Beloved has not gone
up so much as out,
risen now not into one flesh
but all.

The lilacs I smell every morning
have faded; their song has gone out,
has gone out,
and it sings to me everywhere.

By your Spirit
I would pass out of this flesh
and disappear into my love
for all the world.

Release,
as love-laden air
condenses at times
into showers of mercy
and evaporates again
into the atmosphere.
