from a frost; its reflection
echoes in the glen.

A Trinity Plus One


A Trinity Plus One

Because father warned
The Bad Eldils are watching
we tore off
only four squares

of toilet paper
ate no more than
four
marshmallows

poured
just four scoops
of coffee
in the percolator.

With pointed
horned and fanged shadows
eldils painted walls
with dunce caps

their dark angles canting
like the somnambulist
rising
from Dr. Caligari’s cabinet.

How could we know
they were angels,
C. S. Lewis
“imagining out loud”

a trinity plus one
The Father
son
with the angels

and
watching us through glass
the Bent One.
