Month: August 2021

Gaze at the page
of the book of the world
any page
they’re all blank
great thick book
the one among them all
plentiful as the sands

gaze at the silent page
the ink is not invisible
but exactly the same color as the page
every word in every language
imagined and unimagined
more plentiful than stars
is written there

wait for the words to emerge
when they do memorize them

meanwhile
memorize the empty page
memorize the gazing
memorize the waiting

         “I am the bread of life.
         Whoever comes to me will never be hungry,
         and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.“
                   —John 6.35

Not the secret of life but the bread.
Not the belief, but the loaf,
gathered from sun-drawn wheat,
ground in the suffering mill,
baked and given by real hands,
nourishing, now, in its willingness
to be taken, broken, eaten.
See its grainy skin, feel its heft,
smell its warmth.
This is not bread you think about.
This is bread you take into yourself,
that feeds your soul.

Let him be that real.
Enjoy.
