God Carves a Shallow Relief Whilst Defrosting the Freezer
He cut a king in the compartment for cod filets.
Whole scampi were tossed aside. Sliced carrots
made way for wide-wheeled chariots.
Now hounds hunt wild asses in ice cubes;
a dying lion vomits exquisite blood
and there's no quelling the feathery applause.
Sycophantic seraphim trip on fish fingers
and crawl winglong on a nimbus. Poor Luci
cools his tongue on an ice cream cornet,
slips a half frozen baguette in his harp case
and slinks off. Himself would be oblivious
in His fluffy ear defenders and plastic goggles
but for the stink of wilting spinach
and the dull spark of spinning halos
on which he hones His celestial chisel. >>
