Uncreation
by Timothy Reed
God's first work was to create light
our first work is to bring darkness
God's crown was resting from work
our crown is working without rest
we birthed death
Why do I believe in resurrection?
Because every day the dead rises in me.
Heaven forbids a decaying hand
should touch that fruit
until it is draped in the incorruptible
I walk back to the garden
but feet lead their own insurrections
The way is barred by a flaming sword
...for now
