God’s Song
(“Rebeca’s last complete poem was “God Song”. In it she continues singing to us. I hear her singing even now.” Peter Weiler at the Memorial for Rebeca Weiler.)
God,
The Light in faces.
That leap of Spirit seeing
The moon between trees,
Pines black against the
Lighter sky.
Inside the house
A television hearth of colors
Moths tap against the screen,
Jane talks on the telephone
To her boyfriend.
My only prayer is “yes” and “thank you”.
If I seem to leave you,
Know that I continue singing
The Song we are making
Together.
