Holy Host of Inquiries

Holy Host of Inquiries

Circles, sibilance, the line without end, open sound Clean floors, wide windows, loamy earth Stained glass, Gregorian chant, the elevated Monstrance Consolations, all; also, parables, mantras, the Jesus Prayer A true cross, I know, depends on two non-finites The upright piece, no bottom, no end to transcendence The transverse, for same-plane, same-time each other My friend is sick. Nobody is ready. He needs a miracle Yesterday, I noticed my town paved a section of sidewalk Pristine, unblemished. Where it starts and ends makes no sense
