EVENING ON THE ROAD
Bleat, sheep.
Flutter, bat.
Sing up, muezzin!
Ring out, bell!
Born here,
believe this.
Born there,
believe that.
Born here,
go to heaven.
Born there,
go to hell.
*
To those who have met the Crucified God
on the Road to Emmaus,
it matters not where they were born,
or who to,
O Lord of the Night.
