angelus bell rings...

angelus bell rings
there be utopian realms they say
up there
or way out west obscured by lots of planetary bodies
of widely varying magnitude
you may get faint glimpses of them
with their freedom of the press
and association
and the right to bear arms
and the lapis-lazuli leaves on coral boughs of chalcedony trees
growing from golden soil
when the car tyres sloshing
blend with the street light shadows
and the last rays of the setting sun
or then again you may not
if a single human being
in this whole wide world
murmurs the name of God
under her breath just once
that will be sufficient
