like plastic (A Camino Quartet 2 ~ at the Pilgrims' Mass at Santiago de Compostela)

like plastic heated
in a furnace or by
a blowtorch the
certain shapes distort
and move a change
overwhelms as the
nearness of heaven
sears away the
illusory dimensions
of our mortality even
bread and wine are
incandescent in the
glorious food of
angels where body
and blood escape
into us and live
in us and we
are consumed as
we eat this is
not reason but
the metamorphosis
of faith the oneness
of all and the presence
of heaven open a
vision lit by the
darkness itself no
thing matters there
is a suffusion a
flower opens a
sun rises a new
day dawns in a
softness and mercy
like gentle rain
on the parched
soil the moment
cannot last in
time all is

like plastic
