The prophet moves without words
They sit in the filth,
for filth is also a teacher
They walk with madness,
for madness is also a teacher.
They lay with the dying,
for the dying are also teachers.
They seek the fringes
They seek.
Until seeking meets the wounds of this world.
And the seeking becomes action,
and the action becomes seeking.
Witness becomes healer,
and healer becomes witness.
Still the prophet has not spoken the Word.
And the disciples knew not what to write.
And so, the disciples left the prophet to their own devices,
and sought wordier wonders….
