at the anti-tower

By Carl Winderl

---

of babel,
I was there.
 
not on the ground
floor of it
but
in the Upper Room
of It.
 
the difference
 
easy to know
and
to sense
 
if you’d been there
 
as was I thence
with the Self-Same
Spirit Present as at
 
the Annunciation.
 
so, at the end, at
the Very End
 
when the anti-
christ will roam
 
how to know
and
how to sense
 
the Difference
from him
to Him My Son
 
simple, be
alert to the Spirit.
