out from the history of all of this
much farther out
and out of time
maybe we can go there,
where the velvet of nights
holds no contradiction
then let the soul be freed
from all iniquities
and let there be
cessation of want
of all the little griefs
the great afflictions
surely there is an accounting under God
for these
that blue skied joys
may return to us
unmitigated,
the flowered fields
