something falls in me
like rain
disbelief crawling into the night
on its knees
and the day breaks open
like a book
the paper waking and the letters alive
in my mind
and parables pour out
like sun rays;
they could catch these words on fire
and i could tell you what i want
to believe right now,
His hands outstretched
as He rises--
a word in the light, burning--
something, too, rising in me.
