Had I been scribe of dictionary scrolls
or rabbi of the words inscribed within,
had I received the prophets of the tolls
collected through their definitions’ sin
or sacrificed with patriarch and priest
the sums of sons for Sun’s enlightenment—
winged righteousness— I’d write till I increased
the many rooms of heaven’s tenement
and redefine and renovate those slums
of syllabic suppression; and my nouns
would not be static thoughts and theorems,
but action words and adjectives in gowns
of generous repentance; hers and his
would be a broad messiah. Freedom is.
