Poetry

linguae ignes
 
legions
upon legions
of tongues of fire flew out
from the spirit in search of the
chosen
 
on that
Pentecost day
most found their marks in the
city of david except for
a squad
 
that lost
its bearings and
entered a roomful of
cooks in caesarea perching
on the
 
crowns of
bewildered men
these fiery tongues flamed
out and so the shish kebab
was born//
 
renato
