FOUR FORTY-FOUR

  
    
                 
on the digital face of time,
                 cacti
 blooming in the desert,
          Bloomington
no longer just in Indiana
but Arizona, Dry Tortugas
         and Katmandu.
 
Indian paintbrush and Job’s tears
                survive
the frozen snows of yesterday.
.
          Mankind
     of wanton boys
     hiding in the hills
      can never kill
     all  the enemies
       of its gods. 

            Being
   (with a capital B)
            had
       no beginning,
          no end;
             its
          beauty
          blooms
          forever;
        don’t miss it
        as you tiptoe  
   through the minefield
   of your brief existence.
