THE POET PSALM


THE POET PSALM (for EED and RWE) 

Circumference her master trope – 
Her minor turn is prose 
Of dialectic opposites – 
The arguments men pose. 

She runs a Circuit round the Word – 
Her purpose is to ring 
The bells of periphrastic hymn – 
Her “business is to sing” 

Domestic is her universe 
Beneath – beside – above – 
 Beyond antithesis she brings 
Economy of love. 

 (11 August 2010, Provo, Utah)

Sing, poet, sing.
Let ancient memory
Bring
To the present,
An ancient power.
Lost on the earth,
For some long time now -
A Kolob hour.

I like the idea of a Kolob Hour! You should write another poem about that with more details?

The economy of love is the reason why we prosper. When peoples hearts turn hard, things go wrong.
