How art thou fallen from Heaven,
O Lucifer, son of the morning!
                                   Isaiah 14:12

oh where have you fallen to
son of the morning
beautiful lucifer
bringer of light
it is all shadow
in heaven without you
the cherubim sing
kaddish

     and even the
solitary brother
has risen from his seat
of stones    he is holding
they say     a wooden stick
and pointing toward
a garden

     light breaks
where no light was before
where no eye is prepared
to see
and animals rise up to walk
oh lucifer
what have you done
