One by One (by Randy L.)

One by One

One
by One
by
One.

Marching through a sightless sun.
Blue sky of day/Black ash of night.
Stuck/muck/potluck
of Chance.
Day by Day by Day
they go forever on their way.

One
by One
by
One.

Working in the moonlit
Son
of God, where are you now?
Work, fast, faster, schnell!
Blue face of cold/Black skin of heat
Sky of wine/ash of feet
Day by Day by Day
work today, work away/look away.

One by
One
by One.

Look! Look!
Warmed by the furnace,
faces in a book.
Embers burning
somewhere.
Dare I look
Here?
Not.
Be not.
Feel not.
See not.
Do not
tell me/Do not look.

Day by
Day
by noonday
Sun.
Marching with
the sightless
Ones.

Randy L.
