My handheld angel cancelled
a CMYK ibis
& deleted five night rainbows
on my computer
I wanted these artefacts launched into the world-wide-wasteland
I was so proud of my pictures –
they were half google and half ice-cold…
I was so proud that I even dared ask the angel:
- Why?
- The ibis was overrated and the rainbows were shameful metaphoric lies;
My handheld guarding angel said.
- Then, do you allow me to post any image whatsoever?
- Yes, the angel answered...
Try an ibis and five night rainbows
- But, angel, what are they? I have no knowledge about such beings…
- Eventually you don’t have to know much—faith is needed instead…
I give you this Egyptian ibis fetched in ochre,
warm brown, orange, and marked with a veronese green little cross...
We call him Thoth.
As about the night rainbows, don’t fool yourself:
Drink them to the last drop…
They only act as
signs of the covenant He has established between Him and all life on the earth.
