KNEES OF MERCY

Writing is an honor  a pledge to live


a day -- past, present, or future -- of time


living is something a bit different


without a participle it does thrive


a verb in the full measure of being


a priori or  was destined to be


in a manner of speaking so falsely


yet without it what is this mystery?


To rhetoric or to prophesy yields


as into its music it weaves its keys


which are to be touched in their loveliness


no single ingredient is perceived


alone but its details such are these:

harmony and mercy on their bent knees
