PARADIS DE LA GRIMACE

For Jesus paraded
into death, or allowed himself
to be paraded, or allowed himself
to be so important
as to be reported
as having been paraded.

And after Lazarus
we should take note
that dogs in their eloquent humility
and divine biliminality cope better than we do
with the world that we
and Jesus have degraded.


QUIET RAIN

Dogs express so much silently –
why must we make so much noise ?
