MILTON's HEAVEN

MILTON'S HEAVEN by Foutoux


JEWELLED ANACHRONISM, A VISION
OF HEAVEN
SUBLIME,
ANGELS HIDE THEIR FACES
WITH WNGS
AN AMBER RIVER FLOWS THROUGH
PARADISE AND GOD, HIMSELF,
HIDDEN BY CLOUDS
SHOWS ONLY A HEM.
LISTEN TO THE ANGEL'S SONG
"GLORY GLORY GLORY
HOSSANAH IN THE HIGHEST."


FAR BELOW SATAN ROMES
FOR HUMAN PREY

AND I?  FAITH IS ABSURD
SAYS AUGUSTINE
FAITH IN THIS GOD WHO HIDES HIS HEM
WHO KNOWS ME AND LEADS ME
AND LOVES ME.
