The Gemini Poets

Ediluini

Ediluini believed in god
and rested on stone praying for prayer -
he asked for heaven
and won a place there

he walked a golden highway
and made his way to god
who saw a human matted with blood

to quote a modern poet

‘Intime sympathy - flash of divine contempt
for all created - exalt, praise, flash, crown.’

Ediluini said
‘it’s not enough to be down’
christ leaps up
‘it's not enough to be up’
and sits down
Ediluini
‘nothing’s enough anymore’
and renounced heaven
and hell
as well.
