Miracles Greater than the James Webb Space Telescope

Time telescopes — and Shakespeare travels large

To ones who want him.  Buddha opens doors

Across our centuries.  Then our souls discharge

The bilge of life.  We find that we have stores

Inside our holds that we were unaware

Of.  Jesus and Mohammed scuttle weights.

Untruths are killed by freedoms.  Christmas fills the air

With Eid and exorcises ancient hates.

Space telescopes expand.  A distant love

Replaces silences within our lungs

And hearts.  A glossolalia above

Our languages explodes from out our tongues.

  Both time and space can telescope as one.

    We all become a mystic, raptured nun.
