ALTAR PIECE (Dickinson Fr314)

Dear, feathered Hope – go see Jesus –
Warm, weathered Wing – touch the Healer –
I offered Him your Tune – you see –
So now He has full Custody.

Too Buoyant for me to Carry –
Too Vital for me to Bury –
I gave your Song back – to the King –
So now Redeeming love will Sing.

I love this poem. The prosody and diction is so good. It sounds like a Gwendolyn Brooks poem. It has rhythm and soul. Holy Oakey strikes again.
