On a cold morning
I saw a stone wall
And the young man
Who knelt beside it
Without movement.
The pigeons on the street
Rooftops
The sky
And one
Like a prayer
In the open palms
Of the young man.
His eyes were full
His mouth was moving
To make little words
For the idol In his hands.
To touch beauty
So alive
And to feel it!
Like a Jesus of dirty pigeons
In his own idyllic moment
Utopia on the roadside
When he and the bird were kings.
And the world
(Oh, if only we could see it!)
Would kneel
And weep
As feathers
Flakes of gold
Fell to the ground.
Even the wind would be gentle
With these perfect gifts
From these saints who shit on statues.
I pass by
Knowing that
He
Is the closest any man
Has come
To touching God.
