How Do Angels Worship?
Not with harps.
Not always.
Sometimes
with teeth.
With wings held shut.
With eyes wide open.
With a thousand faces
turned toward
the unbearable.
They do not sing.
They tremble
in fearful quiet.
Holy.
A word like nails.
Driven once.
Again.
Again.
Holy.
The throne burns.
The floor breathes.
The pillars remember
every name
God has swallowed.
An angel kneels.
Or falls.
It is not always easy
to tell the difference.
Metallic wings drift
through the bright shadow
of storms.
Each one
still listening.
Each one
afraid to land.
Holy.
Some cover their faces.
Some cover their feet.
Some have no faces.
Some have only mouths.
One opens.
The stars recoil.
One whispers.
A city wakes
with blood
on its doorposts.
Is this praise?
The silence
after thunder?
The sword
returned to flame?
The hand
that does not strike?
Holy.
They circle
what cannot be
approached.
Nearer.
Nearer.
Never arriving.
Their worship
is orbit.
Their worship
is fever.
Their worship
is the long refusal
to look away.
And somewhere
beyond the burning,
one small angel
folds its wings,
leans into
the terrible light,
and patiently waits
for God
to breathe.

Bowed Heads

a lot of people with their heads
bent over as if in prayer.
I am heartened to see
so many engaged in the art
of meditation or contemplation.
Whether waiting for
a meeting to begin
or for someone to arrive
or perhaps simply to kill time,
the hands clasp
and the head bows.
Then I draw closer
and I see that the head
is bent over a screen.
An ethereal light bathes
the worshipper's face,
eyes enraptured,
captured in a blue glow.
And I can't help
but wonder if this
is the new God.

a man of many pieces,
cracked beyond repair,
so many tiny places
scattered like leaves in the wind.
Healing was a dream.
Restoration was elusive.
Much of me was lost.
I could not find the missing,
my eyes dry from the seeking.
Then mercy found me.
The Great Artist touched my heart,
gathered me to me,
glued the pieces one by one
until I was whole again.
Why do the cracks show?
My question rose to the sky.
The scars are ugly.
Must they remain forever?
I wondered if I was healed.
Wait, you gently said.
Dipping your finger in gold,
your love traced the scars.
beauty in my brokenness.
The cracks let the soul's light out. -
Hands down the BEST #OctaviaButler book is #Patternmaster
it beats every one of her books combined. And I’ve read every book. The prequel & sequel are good too & the Parable of the Sower Earthseed series was dope, Mind of My Mind, Kindred, Wild Seed Dawn, Adulthood Rites, Imago.
Everything she’s written is stellar. But Patternmaster is hands down THE BEST book she’s written. Rise In Power
