One Hallowed Eye Which

One hallowed eye which
Whirling
Sees the world
Kaleidoscopic

One whirling eye
Prophetic
Seeing all that is
Momentous on the earth
And behind the earth
In wheels of fire and
In lucent eddies
A sunlit cataract

And a ragged-breathing
Mouth that
Catches
Rudely at the air
Desperate to be filled
With something not its own

This is the glory of mankind
This the LORD's own blessing
