The Lord's Prayer

All that is discernible
is a natural
father
reciprocal
mediation
mother
poetry
openness
bounded
limitless
the completion
of order
holy ratio
technos
and logos
in heaven
things
coalesce
to think
in the world
to feel
real
hallowed be
one name
the word
thy line
stratified
differentiated
the kingdom
thy will
of cracks
on earth
shines in
the givenness
the providing-ness
as it is
given the day
of plenitude
sacrifice
where
the daily bread
is shared
there is no choice
on an island
that forgives
the trespasses
we commit
against us
working
where closure
fails temptation
but delivers us
into possibility
and raging choice
beautiful
wondrous
forever
pondered
affirmed
and ever
