<\/p>\n
A Different Heaven<\/a><\/b><\/div>\n

<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Who will remember the truth,<\/font><\/div>\n
behind the way morning glories<\/font><\/div>\n
devour fences and telephone poles,<\/font><\/div>\n
is life hunger and the way it feels<\/font><\/div>\n
to stretch out delicate green tendrils<\/font><\/div>\n
and pour forth so much purple?<\/font><\/div>\n

<\/font><\/div>\n
And who will remember the perfection,<\/font><\/div>\n
that ten thousand wild geese,<\/font><\/div>\n
screaming in a frost burned meadow<\/font><\/div>\n
rise toward, is a warm birth and the joy<\/font><\/div>\n
of singing through winter heavy air?<\/font><\/div>\n

<\/font><\/div>\n
And who will remember the love,<\/font><\/div>\n
which makes the sweat flow<\/font><\/div>\n
clear and sweet down lovers’ backs,<\/font><\/div>\n
is a fragile leaf unfolding,<\/font><\/div>\n
gently toward light and holy rain?<\/font><\/div>\n

<\/font><\/div>\n
<\/font>And when the righteous<\/font><\/div>\n
burn their vision across the earth<\/font><\/div>\n
and silence it with their dreams of heaven,<\/font><\/div>\n

<\/font><\/div>\n
Who will remember?<\/font><\/div>\n
