Lent 4 A

John 9:1–41

Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment so that those who do not see may see, and those who do see may become blind.” (John 9:39)

On his face there were only closed lids and not even

the sun could penetrate his corneas with blood red light

but on his fingers he had eyes one on each tip

he could see and feel the world the wind and you

With ten oculi he could peer into the eleventh dimension

see beyond dodecahedrons and hypercubes and superstrings

look into a world our stereoscopic minds cannot envision

he saw the glory beneath the light and within and beyond it

He only saw ultraviolet and infrared, the hidden beauty of things

what hummingbirds see as they hover and zoom and spy

firebush and honeysuckle, sage and yellow trumpet bush

discovering the nectar guides and their honeyed revelations

beyond faces and minds and egos manifested

when he touched you and grasped you inside and out he saw

the you lit up beneath the shadow you, he saw the gash

in your wounded soul, the sweetness dripping from your floral heart
