Aby Kaupang

from IF I LIKE CHRIST I DID

If like my Lord I made a band of angels & a freeway too &

demons on white horses

swords of fire falling--

If I the long hair dealt or burnt brush burning spelt or said

follow me into the thresh uncover my feet bare said

to the river little sheep said

I will never never leave you

never--

If I my lord a lintel & a rain

a bloody little lamb I'd loved

a rabbit in the garden loved

beneath each frond quick capsule of thy

grace I take

and wait
