A Succession of Fine Lives
Errol Miller

And they never stop the music
in Chicago or San Francisco, they enter
a world of idyllic clocks with a life-slap,
they sprawl through body-history
and swim to Paradise,
they are our quiet neighbors,
sons and daughters, God's eternal flesh.
They are Old World Lighthouse People
waiting for the ferry boat
as every laborer turns the wheel,
as the craftsman
makes seven circles
around the homeplace at Jericho.
