"A Cloak of Glitter and Silence" (by Joe DiMino)
All I see a constant flux
Of cause and effect:
Ask the snake, when not
Blaming
to teach us
Also the other arts
Of hearing
And tasting
Outside the apple
And away
From its
Core
Perhaps closer
To understanding earth
With a palate for air
As well
As breathing
Are the lowly
With an honest
Slither;
I have learned
More of life
From crawling babies
And tragic gutters
Than any priest
Who wrapped his body
In a cloak
Of glitter
And silence
