Transit
substantiation
The sky
caramelized
I came to an epiphany
then Iwas traveling through
pastel buildings
The metaphysical loneliness
of the Sunset district
at twilight
Then oddly
the MUNI train driver
announced we must exit
and wait for a following car
he was done for the day
In my aesthetisized state
every moments counts
must count
A story book window
Christmas
never goes out of style,
Multitudes are swept
by pre-Xmas commercial con
yet now is the poignancy
of the Yule
My unexpected foot traffic
led me to witness
all wonderous things
On the way in I added
a glorious Catholic church
I have passed by many times
to my fleeting goals in life
Now happenstance
and a determined walk
up two hills puts it
directly on my path ahead
The beauty
of San Francisco
The transience of the world
held back a moment by faith
Doorway
of the Rectory
Doorway
of the Rectory
Do ye think
it is Irish?
A Wedgewoodesque vision
of the Communion of the Saints
for everyone's uplift
Regard the life of the holy
Portal of a sacred space
Attend Mass
and make sacred your own
Every moment in time
in a frieze
in a frieze
in eternity
Generations of San Franciscans
going in to Sunday Mass,
to receive the Sacraments,
to marriages and funerals
prayer and song
My formation imagined
for me in vivid California
Last shot
see the street car a-coming
People get ready
In short minutes
The Super moon
is rising to the East
To commemorate my last
encounter
in San Francisco
An androgynous
perception
of sainthood
A Saint
miraculous
crepuscular
miraculous
crepuscular
Forgetting myself
I felt like another person
was there was me
How joyous our awakening
within the sorrows of life
The streetcar pours me toward
Civic Center
bemused by other tired children
Then the first BART train fast,
But I must transfer in West Oakland
where there the Supermoon
waits for no one
Behind my eyelids
The Super moon
the train station
early New Year darkness
envelopes all the bay
deepening off the coast
