Gregory Corso

Destiny

They deliver the edicts of God
 
without delay
 
And are exempt from apprehension
 
from detention
 
And with their God-given
 
Petasus, Caduceus, and Talaria
 
ferry like bolts of lightning
 
unhindered between the tribunals
 
of Space & Time
 
 
The Messenger-Spirit
 
in human flesh
 
is assigned a dependable,
 
self-reliant, versatile,
 
thoroughly poet existence
 
upon its sojourn in life
 
 
It does not knock
 
or ring the bell
 
or telephone
 
When the Messenger-Spirit
 
comes to your door
 
though locked
 
It’ll enter like an electric midwife
 
and deliver the message
 
 
There is no tell
 
throughout the ages
 
that a Messenger-Spirit
 
ever stumbled into darkness
