Neanderthal Messiah — 107

Connecticut’s Farmington Valley XXI
[The author sat up in bed
Arms bracing behind him
Like an EKG pulse -
Gazing above, to Him hovering.
Framed in a dark, hewn granite niche
Wearing a knit, off-white frock
With clay-colored undershirt -
His face impossible to see.
His hand placed on my head
He said:]
‘You will do my work.’
