prelude fugue chorale

we saw her entering as the sea

enters her harbor and that was it we assume that if she did

not exit

and we could not swear to have seen her since unless we lie

why then she is there still and never has left the place

Wisdom stands before the church temple synagogue

supermarket rest home aviary municipal waterworks gas

station

right there on the sidewalk

nay dans la rue

beckoning you

I have seen the wicked

like the green tree of these parts

spreading

he came from elsewhere

and goeth
