At this window
Stood two
One fled
One prayed
In another night
In a garden
Stood a third
And he went
To the door
The rope hangs
Michal holds the window
I flee
And the flight is right
The night belongs to the dogs
I stayed at the window
And prayed for the watchers
No further
The door
I never even
Looked at the door
They sought the Light
With lanterns
Torches, lamps, weapons
Through a dark garden
To find the Light
And the Light
Let itself be found
He knew everything
That was coming
And went out
Toward them
Whom do you seek?
Jesus of Nazareth
I am he
And the men with the lanterns
Stepped back
And fell to the ground
As if the Light
Had let them see
For one breath
Whom they were seeking
They sought the Light
With lanterns
Torches, lamps, weapons
Through a dark garden
To find the Light
And the Light
Let itself be found
He said
Put the sword
Back in its place
And touched his ear
And healed the man
Who had come
To bind him
And so no one thinks
This is a technique that works
The man who led them here
Had eaten from his hand
That same evening
The hungry dog
Had been fed
Best bread
Nearest seat
And betrayed him
With a kiss
Love does not give
Because it works
It gives
Because that is what it is
Twelve legions
Stood ready behind the sky
The window was open
Wider than any window
No call
He placed himself
Between the lanterns and us
If you seek me
Let these go
He took the place
At the rope
And gave us
The window
David sang in the morning
After the night of the watchers
We sing on another morning
The lanterns burned down long ago
The torches died in the grass
And the Light they came to bind
Rose
Like a morning
That needs
No lantern
