A Little Night Music

Malach-YHWH, when
he comes, must dress himself
in earth—again, must
speak in words the dust
can hear. But this is
no hardship: God is
not a stranger to the earth.

The presence is like and
not like fire, and the
prophetic word comes not
in but after the convulsion.
So hope abides even after
the wreck we make:
our little lifelong disaster.
