TRANSFIGURATION

Hearing the ram's horn
down the lane

opening the book
of the lamb

in a Blakean shadow
of the great I am

in new Jerusalem's
unruly Chelm

after transfiguration
and Jacob's troubles

are over
and done with

the sun
on the emerald green

we shall enter and smile
both Jew and Gentile

into that holy city
over a wedding threshold.
