Begins with the mystery of the hows--
how to believe,
how to love,
how to feel,
how to believe. Again the how
returns to face the world.
Jesus entered and brought hows--
how to be born--once, then twice,
how to live last yet first,
how to love that rascal neighbor
who's howless about his life
and you're supposed to love but can't stand
the S.O.B.
How again, to live like Christ
has entered your marrow.
To die. How? Always death
howling: how on the cross
could this have happened?
Howling at the Father's desertion;
how to let the pain take over--
unhealed. How the healer dies.
How recorded in dead language;
how disected words evicerate;
how to find the holy.
How to pray for the hows.
How impossible.
