Fragment: Swimming to the Moon with Jesus


the moon, the children, the transcendent ineffable
          frozen like a statue of Apollo
          and dead, dead, dead
          dead as the dream of a crystal city on a hill    
          dead as the consolation of order by law
          dead as founder’s intent
          dead as white dreams of America
              that you have been sold like subway tokens to a better world
          dead as a heaven that exists only in books
