civitas sancti tui

lines of fire
the car ride
the kiss the

hurry the
opalescent brow
in extremis

like in a movie
god comes
now

rough cast
thunder games
and

didgeridoo choirs
in darkness sheen
oh western wind

your trombone children
wild wide the sky
and sour deep seas

oh neighbour if you ever were one
disassemble me dismay my
sopranos warbling why

Isaiah 64:10
civitas sancti tui facta est deserta Sion deserta facta est Hierusalem desolata (Vulgate)
Your sacred cities have become a wasteland; even Zion is a wasteland, Jerusalem a desolation. (NIV)
