Poem

Ritual by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

It’s not as if the clouds were parted and

some waterfall of golden light poured forth.

No rainbow smeared sky. No wondrous star. No Kings with gold.

No angel choir. The sun did not stand still.

No burning bush. No parted seas. No feast

of fish and bread. Sometimes the aching heart

wants blatant, flagrant proof of holiness.

Tonight it was the swallows as they keeled

and curved, converged, dispersed and reappeared

that altered me. Though truly, it was not

the birds and more the watching as they swooped,

the watching ’til the watching self-dissolved

and the world was only space and darkling wings.
