Jacob's Ladder
What he saw in the desert threw him for a loop:
A ladder with Angels going up and coming down
In response to the question: "Who are we, Lord? What miracle soup
gives life to the bones all around."
We wrestle with the fact that our lives
are a spiral ladder of 23 steps that repeat
while the spirit buzzes amid the hives
of cells. He asked for a neat
explanation and got a DNA puzzle
that he would not have the tools
to assemble for millennia. So a muzzle
is what we get for fools
Errands. We cannot speak the way God speaks.
By saying "mountains," God creates a range of peaks
we climb up and down, searching for the soul in its evening gown.
