“Trilogy”

A POEM

By Timothy Trainor | January-February 1986

In the beginning
A Mind, Eternal.
Then

A mind, created.

A sweet Whispering,
“You are radiant, and I love you.”
A proud roaring,
“I know, now give me worship!”

All Hell breaks loose.

 

On the new water
A Breath, Eternal.

To Angela, Who Is Afraid of Clowns

Clowns are grandfathers

painted with strokes of laughter

who kiss lollipops

but never lick them.

The Bell Ringer

He disturbs

The sleeping bells, the stolid sounds

Locked in the iron tower

That hold…

Phoebe,

Gentle handmaid

Of us all,

Who assisted Paul

And others
