I saw Your glory
and it astounded me"
St. Augustine, Confessions
I never want to look again
but cannot help but see
six years
this summer
and have never re-read those written words
but have always known exactly what
and where they were
safely closed behind glass doors
and then to wake today
open and give away
where in the world was the thought in that
why would I freely boldly gently
absurdly
hand it to another
only the second time in 45 years
hands and eyes other than mine
have fallen upon my words
the first to david schwartz in prison
the conversion diary
never came back
into the silent cupboard
