Five Definings

by Alan Harris
Sky:
awfullywhere above,
is ours to
(of course)
share with
(whoever may be)
God.

Earth:
much underrated,
sturdily
(all the same)
holds up
(whatever may be)
the sky.

Heaven:
sky and earth
in a goodly
(feel the flow)
mix holding
(want them in vain)
all unholdables.

Hell:
doorway to
the back
(way back)
stairs leading to
(wherever may be)
heaven.

Friendship:
life sharing
light hearts
(and heavy)
without benefit
(or hindrance)
of shouldness.





From the book Knocking on the Sky (1997-1998)
