7  8  1 

by Conrad Martin

After 7 comes 8.
After the bent Death—a small Wait
like Infinity symboled and stood on one End.
After contingencies—Fate.

After 7 comes 1.
After the sting, the Stun
of precipitous Heaven.
After the morning, the Sun.

Conrad Martin loves words for their ability to create deeper awareness and experience of life through connection between minds and hearts.
