A Clasp Poem by Donald Revell

A Clasp



Below the shapeliness
of every hand
exposed in error
of the hand's strength
ache the usual
ligature and tendon
inflamed by injustice
made, allowed.

At Epiphany, hand-
made civil traffic
steals through town.
Hilarious and undemocratic
is every miracle. Ache
and error, ache and
correction strive as usual,
unshaped in the disguise of angels.
