by Pavel Chichikov

Our Lord was in the chapel cleaning

Swung His mop in curving lines

As once He wrote archaic dust

So now He soaps a long design

God inside the tabernacle

Descends to clean the chapel floor

The Lord a menial refugee –

No one sees the door ajar

“How beautiful this world and that

One of lapis, one of jade

And there between a gallery

Of curving spacetime I have made”
