Ekatos

 

 

To spirit, be spirit! Unconfused of the heart.

Each whispers, and each a different whispering.

 

In this, that God remain God to me

And not my own mere conscience, bounced back

As though a shouting off rock walls,

 

That I am curbed, not boundless,

And might therefore be Here.

And being Here, that I might Be.

 

You are Other. Another. Free

In a few clean strides, as a rolling bright vortex in space itself, yes, as a hurricane seen from orbit,

And in your apprehension of all that is, and of all that is to come. Free

Of the very corpus of the dead by which I learned your

Name. Free

Of the human soul, of all our hopes, yes! and of our prayers.

It is in your freedom that you are

Dread, and wondrous.
