Love is long overdue
If you count the time it took to know her, too.
Held too close, an angel will let tumble
Its ersatz jewels held under a smock spun from
wool.
To unknot himself was to appear bandy-legged
Wrapped around the waist of a man he pegged
As a bodhisattva; but more likely a straw-bale.
Pain dovetails a broad veil
Upon his face. In wedding, tamped; wet
Shoe hugged by a gutter eddy pamphlet
Printed on it, outstretched: a veiled Jesus
“Suffering will end.” Well, as he pleases.
