I Know Is (Original 11 28 2009) Poem by Lee B. Mack

I know is this Angel and the Angel’s
Choir singing -deep inside I hear?
Hymnal Sunday assemblage
Sabbath celebrations
“Standing in the safety zone
Sometimes I have to stand alone…”
But holy in my lonely home
Of relative joy –worship chooses
My silenced slow whispered vocal
Jazz –I know is sung precociously
I hear is my weakness
Invariance to change
My body tempered to stay the summer
Touched by the heat of meditation
By rites strengthened in the winds
Of November
I think is this love an interloper
In your soul of soul mates of
Temperament bodies intertwined
Rolling warmed tropical sands
And the chilled salted edges
I know is my cool drying with you
Our humid fall perception?
