When resurrection is not enough;
when, beyond the empty tomb,
mud sucks footsteps back toward hell;
flash flood waters, falling, leave a ring around your soul,
and the sky too close for comfort, despite miracles
of incarnation, resurrection; ascension
gives flight to imagination, lifting
like a swan, lumbering, unlikely.
