Light from Light
The ruby throat in air defers,
Presents his forehead to larkspur,
Walks as Christ on Galilee,
Weightless goes as so did He
Receives the pollen as a grace,
A Eucharist on beak and face,
Floating sign and metaphor,
Convey to us: receive, adore
Blood of wine, flesh of wheat,
Wing of angel swiftly beat,
To the left and to the right,
Above the altar, light from light
