how easy to read a holy book
or someone's commentary
on a text explicated over and over
for generations
each era's voice claiming
a staunch authenticity and authority
as if the cosmos could be made definitive
to mere mortal understanding
how different to be stumbling outside the gates
with a voice crying woe for being misled
by one grand misunderstanding
of a cobbled-together phrase given divine provenance
while in the cold night's moon the howls
of wolves teach a truer reality...
