Prodigal:A yellow-eyed monster
Steps forward on the motorway
And gives birth to a trumpeter
In a red band uniform marching
Gaily into the muted rain.
For a moment
I am blinded and deaf,
But only for a moment as the light
And the thundering voice of heaven
Engulf me.
For a moment I am afraid,
But only for a moment;
This is a dream.
