Now and Then
Sing to me, Muse, of complicated men
Take me down to the ground floor,
Repossess my all-access pass
November 9, 2023
I called through your door,
“The mystics are gathering
in the street. Come out!”“Leave me alone.
I’m sick.”“I don’t care if you’re dead!”
Jesus is here, and he wants
to resurrect somebody!”
