This isn’t quite a poem. It’s certainly not a sermon. It’s a little bit of exercise, and a little bit of grace.
Billy Corgan continues to interest me. Fascinate is too strong a word, but people are on journeys. I think we still allow that.
Billy, if you’re out there: thank you for “Tonight, Tonight.”
Agape (Open)
For Billy Corgan
It’s said that Billy Corgan pronounces the English word agape like the Koine word agapē (ἀγάπη).
Agape, agape
the bleeding heart of Jesus,
agape, agape
the spear wound in his side;
Agape, agape
the boulder-sealed entombing,
agape, agape
the beating heart of Christ.
