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.

Your upper room perch grounds me. One must take a seat at His Table and have dipped the bread into the oil to have touch to know truth from lie. To have still the taste of wine on one’s lips intoxicated by His presence. To have one part of you betray Him to know how weak we are. Only then the anti-tower can be seen for the eternal slouch toward Bethlehem that is hubris and hegemony.
