Machine of Love and Grace: Selected Poems

Machine of Love and Grace: Selected Poems

Cate Marvin
5/5 ( ratings)
"Abominable"

I have looked, and found you,
wanting; not you in particular.

Personified,
which of us is abominable?

Your red hair,
your deep sizable snowprints

off the dark road, inside
the crystal woodland.

With my penlight, I've looked.
I am afraid of you, and not

to be surprised by your figure
approaching, has to be a blessing,

even if accompanied by death.
For it must be

the way of God's gifts: not to be
believed, and confessed.

Rodney Jack's work appeared in AGNI, Ploughshares, and Poetry, which awarded him the Eunice Tietjens Memorial Prize. He took his life in 2008.
