I tried to unsee but all I know is
Christ
In the way he says
I’ll never turn you away
Christ
In the sunrise,
In my blindness
Christ
In the Buddhist, in the Tao,
Beyond the temple
Christ
In the fallen and in the raised
In my childhood,
Rosary light across the sea
In my weariness and in the lightning
Christ
In the multitudes
In singularity
Christ in their patience,
In their common sense
Christ
Despite current events;
And within them
Christ
I see you in Mollison and Lovelock,
In Antarctic heat waves
In rainforest relics
In my blistered conscience
Christ
Where I thought I’d escaped
Where you carried me
Christ
In expansion and condensation,
In the shield and the suffering
Christ despite Tiananmen,
Christ in Hong Kong
Falling apart and breaking through again
In fish and fields,
In their fearful hesitation
Christ
Whether I make it or I don’t
Christ
In every substance and story
Whether I’m sane or insensible
Christ
In the focussed timebomb of the present
Christ
Despite all instants, all irrelevancies
Love
Is your name and I am here because truly all is
