Unbounded

Georgia hot seeds on a hallelujah evening

with pennies & quarters for holified collection

plate carrying all the past days in silvered reflection

& two years beyond puberty’s genesis, chrysalis yet

uncracked, molded by creationism & Augustine &

Bible-hard precipitous waters & Calvin’s predestined

voice, her hair a golden halo spilling like a waterfall

turned to downriver rapid & voices of Alabama radio

preachers carried on magic waves over the state line
