Don't speak to me of a god More concerned with politics Or academic arguments Or corporate management Than he is with perfecting The angle of the sun on A steaming lake—allowing Both the cold and the light— Or with the falcon swooping Through icy mist onto a Fleeing cluster of seagulls. I will not pray to anyone Who is not the author of wonder As surely as He is of order.
