TROUT   [5]

Zane Ivy: [1 , 2 , 3 , ]
 
The Second Coming
 
Waited
175 biblical 
minutes ticking by
like commandments on stone 
for you to walk down from the 
mountain and give me good news or a smile.

Down here
everyone dancing
around neon cows while I
alone wait for purple to descend
from some heavenly bus in the cold.

Like the Man
no one beheld you but
me - standing in front of the
screen, hands turning blue as I turned
my eyes towards grace, waiting to see your face.

Will Christ apologize like you do
when He sets his feet on
Olivet and the one
waiting says -
"What took
you?"
