His goings
Are from everlasting
He was always going to,
And his goings
Always became comings,
As he'd come, to someone,
Patriarchs blinked,
And in a flash,
A flutter of lashes,
He was come and gone,
Melchizedek made many times over,
A night long tussle,
A fiery companion
God's servant.
Don't think the thing with the fish was a first.
He's been making goings since the beginning,
Shimmying in and out of history's paper thin membrane,
Peekaboo with adult people,
Instant in their infancy,
Even Abraham, in his dotage,
A sapling, searching for forest-light,
Beneath branches of the ancient of days,
His comings and goings,
His means and his ways,
Found in the fallopian highway,
A suitable vehicle,
He sidled in,
Immaculate,
Infinite,
Instant,
Insistent,
In Utero,
He smiles and turns the key,
Yes,
He came,
Good to go.
