chopping, clipping and cutting



i perceived the rumbling in paradise


calling me to the task of chopping


branches of bigger trees permitting


not pampas grass to scarcely survive
 


i heard clearly the echoing in hell


calling me to the task of clipping


wings of hawk rising higher, soaring


faltering to feed the hatchling in vale
 


i see plainly the perpetual voice


calling me to the task of cutting


arms of the archdiocese and knocking


it down to let in the Nazarene noise
