Coming of Age

He grew up into an emptiness
he was on terms with. The duplicity
of language that could name
what was not there was accepted

by him. He was content, remembering
the unseen writing of Christ
on the ground, to interpret
it in its own way. Adultery

of the flesh has the divine
pardon. It is the mind
catching itself in the act
of unfaithfulness that must cast no stone.
